| Reverse description | The deified Antinous is depicted as an equestrian figure mounted on a horse striding to the right, his body turned slightly forward as he holds a caduceus in his outstretched hand. The rendering is characteristic of Alexandrian provincial bronze coinage of the Hadrianic period, with the horse shown in energetic motion. The regnal date legend appears in the field, denoting the 21st year of Hadrian's reign. The overall composition is bold and deeply struck, consistent with the hammered technique of Roman provincial coinage from Alexandria. |
