(Translation: Emperor Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus)
Reverse description The Agathodaemon serpent erect and rearing to the right, its sinuous body rendered in relief with visible scales. The serpent is crowned with the skhent (double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt), symbolizing the protective deity of Alexandria and the Egyptian royal tradition. The regnal year date legend appears in the field to the left. The design reflects the syncretic Greco-Egyptian religious iconography characteristic of Alexandrian provincial bronzes.
