It is not clear whether the coin was lost where it was discovered or taken there with the rest of the material found in the fill. An assemblage of six coins minted in AD 330–348 was also discovered on the Upper Terrace, but this time at the Bark Hall. Hidden or lost, the coins testify to a late-Roman interest in the Temple of Hatshepsut.

Some scholars relate these representations to the reported by Cassius Dio (LXVI 8, 1) sudden exceptional Nile fl ooding which took place after the emperor's arrival in Alexandria. However, the dates of both events are disputable. It seems that Nilus bust on the coins is rather an expression of Roman emperors' complying with requirements of the tradition which identifi ed the monarch with the renewed Nile. The river god Nilus was one of the divinities belonging to the triad whose worship was associated with the ruler cult in the times of the Ptolemies as evidenced by the inscription from Canopus, dedicated to Serapis, Isis, Nilus, king Ptolemy (III Euergetes) and queen Berenice (II). 1 According to J.N. Svoronos, a head of a bearded man with his hair bound with a taenia and falling on the neck, depicted on coins attributed to Ptolemy VI Philometor, represents Zeus or Nilus. 2 J.M.C. Toynbee 3 and S. Bakhoum 4 adopted the identifi cation proposed by R.S. Poole, who attributed this type of coin to the reign of Ptolemy V Epiphanes and associated the head on the obverse with Nilus. 5 During the Roman period a personifi cation of the Nile depicted in the form of a bust of a bearded man with cornucopia was a recurring iconographic motif on the coins minted in Alexandria. 6
