Gold coin featuring King Ptolemy III found

Archaeologists in Egypt have unearthed the remains of a Roman bath — as well as a mountain of treasures, including a statue of a ram and a gold coin featuring King Ptolemy III.

The artifacts uncovered at the site of San El-Hagar, in Tanis, include pottery vessels, terra-cotta statues, bronze tools, a stone fragment engraved with hieroglyphs and a small ram statue. The gold coin was created in the 221 B.C. to 205 B.C. reign of King Ptolemy IV in memory of his father.
