| Reverse description | Full-length standing figure of Zeus-Sarapis facing left, robed in a long chiton and himation, with right arm extended outward and left arm held at the side, possibly holding a sceptre. At the deity's feet, Cerberus, the three-headed guardian of the underworld, is depicted in low relief, underscoring the syncretic Greco-Egyptian nature of the cult. The Greek legend ΖΕΥΣ ΣΑΡΑΠΙΣ appears in the left field, with the regnal year marker L Η (Year 8) in the right field, dating the issue to the eighth year of Vespasian's reign (75–76 CE). The reverse design reflects the prominent veneration of Sarapis in Alexandria and the theological fusion of Hellenic and Egyptian religious traditions. |
