| Reverse description | The god Nilus, depicted as a reclining male figure, rides upon a hippopotamus advancing to the left. Nilus holds stalks of corn ears in his raised right hand and a cornucopia in his left arm, symbolizing the fertility and abundance bestowed by the annual Nile inundation. The composition fills the flan with dynamic energy, the hippopotamus rendered with characteristic Alexandrian naturalism. The regnal year legend appears in the field above the figures, consistent with standard Alexandrian dating practice for Year 1 of Antoninus Pius. |
