This Cleopatra coin has been lost underwater for 2,000 years

Cleopatra VII, Egypt’s iconic queen, left behind few traces of her reign. Beneath the harbor of modern-day Alexandria, archaeologists have uncovered ancient coins bearing her image amid the ruins of a temple where she may have once worshipped. Historians believe this temple stood on the island of Antirhodos, which ultimately sank into the Mediterranean Sea following a series of earthquakes.
