| Reverse description | The Agathodaemon serpent depicted erect and rearing to the right, entwined around a caduceus and flanked by corn-ears, emblematic symbols of fertility and divine protection deeply rooted in Alexandrian religious tradition. The Agathodaemon was the tutelary serpent deity of Alexandria, frequently featured on the city's civic coinage as a symbol of prosperity and good fortune. The date legend L ΙΕ appears in the field, denoting regnal year 15 of Domitian according to the Egyptian calendar (95–96 AD). The reverse field is heavily worn and encrusted, though the serpentine form and associated symbols remain identifiable. |
