| Beschrijving keerzijde | Dikaiosyne (personification of Justice) depicted standing facing, with head turned to the left. She is dressed in a long chiton and himation, holding a pair of scales in her outstretched right hand and a cornucopia in her left arm. The regnal date legend L Ε, denoting the fifth year of Antoninus Pius's reign, is placed in the field to the left of the figure. The composition is typical of Alexandrian civic allegory coinage, rendered in moderate relief on an irregularly shaped flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year five of Antoninus Pius's reign — marked here by the regnal date L Ε — fell during a period of unusual administrative stability in Roman Egypt. The Alexandrian mint tied its bronze issues to the Egyptian regnal year rather than the Roman consular calendar, a dating practice that makes precise attribution straightforward but also exposes just how prolific the mint was in certain years. Fourth-century hoards from the Fayum region have turned up L Ε bronzes in quantity, suggesting active circulation well beyond Alexandria itself.
