Alexander had been dead for more than twenty years when this coin was struck.
His former bodyguard Lysimachus was now a king. He put Alexander’s face on one side, and his own name on the other.

Did you know that the emperor Nero used to go about Rome at night undercover and with some companions, robbing and beating Romans?
When he attacked the senator Julius Montanus and his wife, the senator fought back until recognising Nero and begging for forgiveness. Nero forced him to commit suicide
