World Maritime Day<\/strong><\/h2>\n

World Maritime Day was established in 1978 by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and is celebrated every year in the last week of September. Its aim is to focus attention on the importance of shipping, safety at sea and the protection of the marine environment.<\/p>\n

As part of this year’s celebration, the Numismatic Museum presents from its collection a defaced silver (billon) tetradrachm of Alexandria during the reign of Emperor Commodus, which depicts the city’s harbor with a ship and its famous Lighthouse, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.<\/p>\n
