Reply to comment by marketrent in First archaeological correlate of the Egyptian rebellion described on the Rosetta Stone, 196 BCE — Evidence of violent destruction across the ancient city of Thmouis, in Egypt’s Nile delta, ca. 204-186 BCE by marketrent

For those, who like me, forget which ptolomy is which and had to check the relevence of IV, V and VI, the Rosetta was a record of a decree issued by preists in support of Ptolomy V who was subject to the rebellions and generally struggled after his dad died when he was young.

Hence IV coins below and VI coins above the destruction ties in v nicely.
