| Reverse description | The Agathodaemon serpent depicted erect and rearing to the right, crowned with the double Egyptian skhent crown, its coiled body enfolding a club and a caduceus — emblems uniting Greco-Roman and Egyptian religious iconography. The Agathodaemon was the tutelary serpent deity of Alexandria, frequently featured on Alexandrian bronze coinage as a symbol of divine protection and prosperity. The date regnal legend L Η appears in the field, denoting the eighth year of Antoninus Pius's reign. The reverse design is characteristic of the Alexandrian mint's synthesis of Hellenistic and pharaonic artistic traditions. |
