| Reverse description | Standing figure of Elpis (the personification of Hope) facing left in long draped chiton, raising her right hand to lift the hem of her garment and holding a flower or lotus blossom in her left hand. The date legend L ΔΕΚΑΤΟΥ appears in the field, denoting regnal year ten of Antoninus Pius. The reverse type is a characteristic Alexandrian representation of Elpis, consistent with the iconographic conventions of the mint under the Antonine dynasty. |
