| Reverse description | A prominent caduceus — the winged herald's staff entwined by two serpents — is depicted upright in the centre of the field, its wings spread at the top and the intertwined snakes clearly rendered. Flanking the base of the caduceus are two pairs of grain ears (lotus or wheat), extending outward to either side, symbolising the agricultural fertility of Egypt. The regnal date legend L ΔΕΚΑΤΟΥ is distributed in the field around the central device, denoting the tenth year of Hadrian's reign. The reverse type underscores Alexandria's role as a major centre of commerce and grain supply within the Roman Empire. |
