At first things went badly! Ptolemy's smaller African forest elephants were scared off by Antiochus' larger ones, but soon the tide shifted. In the excitement of battle, Antiochus and his cavalry outran their own troops and the well-trained Egyptian army defeated them.Recall this dramatic battle &ndash; the largest of its time &ndash; and hold a genuine piece of ancient Egyptian history in your hand with this hefty bronze coin.

A.D. 350-353 Decentius Bronze Bridgnorth Shropshire Hoard Coin, Two Victories Reverse Main Image

Add the rare bronze coin of Decentius to your collection! Normally we can only acquire about 10 of his coins a year and never in this quality. And even more exciting, they come from Amiens, France, a rare Roman mint. Hand struck over 1,650 years ago, each rare Centennionalis features Decentius &ndash; thought to be the brother (or relative) of Magnentius. Named Caesar in A.D. 350 or early 351, he was sent to defend Gaul against hostile German tribes while Magnentius battled Constantius II for control. The two rebels planned to unite their armies, but military actions went against them, and they took their lives a few days apart. Given his short rule, and that Constantius II withdrew the rebels&#39; coinage and replaced it after the rebellion, it&#39;s no wonder Decentius&#39; coinage is rare and difficult to find today.
