The person who first held this rich token of the classical past was a witness to history. Perhaps that person lived among the splendors of ancient Alexandria,walked in its streets, visited its famous library and the wondrous lighthouse of Pharos. To wear this magnificent coin in its radiant setting is to travel backward through time, to visit (if only in the imagination) that vanished world. - (FJ.2870)
