| Beschrijving keerzijde | A lion walking to the left is depicted in the field, rendered in the bold, schematic style characteristic of Alexandrian provincial bronze coinage. The animal is shown in profile with its mane clearly modelled and its tail raised, pacing across a plain ground line. The regnal year date appears in the upper field in the form of the Egyptian dating formula. The flan edges are notably irregular and show casting sprues, with an overall warm brown patina. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year six of Marcus Aurelius's reign saw Alexandria in the early grip of the Antonine Plague, which Roman armies returning from the Parthian campaign would carry westward with catastrophic effect. The outbreak is thought to have originated in Mesopotamia around 165 AD and spread rapidly through Egypt's trading networks before the worst mortality hit the empire's interior.
