The Alexandria die cutters must have seen a sample of the Rome coin but knew that the local legion was 'Augusta'. Most are on small flans and are missing a good part of the legends. The left coin can only be identified as AVI by its being from the same dies as better centered specimens. The right specimen shows a weak hint of the I but is identified with certainty as a die duplicate of the Arnold collection specimen. III page 30.
Alexandrian eagles tend to have an arched back.
There is a very rare legionary of this type used with an obverse of Julia Domna. I regret having no illustration to show. The above two coins are die duplicates but, since they are off center in opposite directions, serve to illustrate the full design better than a single coin. Again, most known examples are poorly struck and missing some part of the legend. The eagles of 'Emesa' tend to have a pronounced hook to the beak.
