| Reverse description | The Agathodaemon serpent, a sacred deity of Alexandrian civic religion, depicted erect and rearing to the right, its body coiled at the base. The serpent holds corn-ears in one direction and a caduceus in the other, symbolizing agricultural abundance and divine protection — attributes closely associated with the prosperity of Alexandria and the Nile. The date regnal formula L ΙΒ (Year 12) appears in the field, corresponding to the twelfth year of Domitian's reign. The design reflects the syncretic religious iconography typical of Alexandrian provincial coinage under the Flavian emperors. |
