| Beschrijving keerzijde | The personification of Euthenia (Prosperity), rendered as a standing female figure facing the viewer with her head turned to the left. She holds two ears of grain in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left, emblematic of agricultural abundance and civic well-being. The reverse legend and regnal year appear in the field, identifying this issue as struck in the third year of Marcus Aurelius's reign over Egypt. |

Struck in regnal year 3 of Marcus Aurelius (162–163 AD), this Alexandria issue invokes Euthenia, the personification of abundance tied specifically to the Nile's annual inundation. The flood calendar governed Egyptian civic and economic life far more concretely than any imperial edict, and Alexandrian bronzes routinely weaponized her image during periods of anxious anticipation before flood levels were confirmed upstream. Year 3 of Marcus Aurelius coincided with the early phase of his co-rule with Lucius Verus — the first time Rome operated under formally equal co-emperors — a political novelty the Alexandrian mint absorbed without visible disruption to its well-practiced regnal dating system.
