| Reverse description | A two-columned temple facade encloses the enthroned figure of Sarapis seated to the left, holding a long sceptre in his left hand and wearing his characteristic kalathos (modius) headdress. A small figure of Nike is depicted on the throne, and at the feet of Sarapis crouches Cerberus, the three-headed guardian of the underworld, underscoring the deity's chthonic associations. The composition is rendered in the distinctive Alexandrian style, combining Greco-Egyptian religious iconography within a classical architectural frame. The regnal year date appears in the field. |
