| Reverse description | Standing figure of Serapis, wearing the distinctive modius (grain measure) upon his head, depicted facing left in a frontal pose. The deity holds corn-ears and poppies in one hand and a cornucopiae in the other, emphasising his role as a god of fertility and abundance. The legend encircles the field, recording Vespasian's principal titles and honours, with the senatorial authorisation mark S C prominently placed. The design reflects the Flavian promotion of Egyptian cults following Vespasian's association with Alexandria during his rise to power. |
