Greek find in Alexandria

The French Marine Antiquities mission under Frank Godion fished out two gold coins that date back to the era of Antonios, the emperor who was used to be called the pious, during an archaeological survey in the Eastern port in Alexandria, the area that hosted the royal neighbourhood in the Graeco-Roman period.

Gaballah Ali Gaballah, Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA), said the mission also salvaged eight pieces of pottery vessels and amphoras.
