| Reverse description | Draped bust of Sarapis facing right, the syncretic Greco-Egyptian deity depicted wearing the distinctive kalathos (modius) atop his head, a hallmark of his iconography on Alexandrian coinage. The bust shows characteristic curled hair and beard rendered in the Hellenistic tradition. The date formula L Α appears in the field to the right of the bust, indicating regnal year 1 of Vitellius's reign. The reverse design is typical of the religious imagery favored at the Alexandrian mint, reflecting the city's strong association with the cult of Sarapis. |
