<p> There is vsed to this day certaine brasen money with the image of Augustus Ceasar on it, vpon the one side wherof is the portraiture <pb n="embmne_pae1591_fac082"/> of a Crocodile chained fast to a palme tree, with this inscription: Col. Nem. which is, No man hath euer bound me before. By which signe Caesar would signifie that none before him did euer subdue Egypt, and triumphed ouer it. For the Crocodile representeth Egipt, which is to be found onely in the riuer Ni- lus, by the commodie whereof all Egypt is made fruitfull. Besides the Crocodile is faste- ned to the Palme tree, that thereby the be- holders might be admonished that the godly Prince Augustus triumphed ouer all Egypt, by getting of which victorie and peace, he was recreated and refreshed, as a drie and thirstie ground is with a showre of raine. Fi- nally, his simbole signifieth that Augustus got the victorie, and preuailed against Anto- nius and Cleopatra of famous memorie. </p>
