Greek, Roman and Macedonian
MAAT acquired some G/M coins in the remote past:
King Philip 2 of Macedon (Father of Alexander the Great (M7), on a bronze coin).
Octavian (nephew and heir of Gaius Julius Caesar, before his becoming Emperor of Rome).
Silver Denarius with portrait of Octavian [Augustus Caesar].
Emperor Nero (debased or undervalued silver), the Emperor of Rome who allegedly played his fiddle while Rome city burnt, to later plan a new sports stadium on its ashes. He undervalued his currency by mixing silver with worthless alloy metal, and increasing its price (auto-deification helped).
