| 裏面の説明 | Draped bust of the ram-headed god Ammon facing right, crowned with a solar disk, depicted riding upon the back of a ram walking right. An Egyptian altar stands before the group in the left field, serving as a localizing religious symbol of the Alexandrian mint. The composition blends Greco-Roman and Egyptian iconographic traditions, characteristic of provincial coinage struck under Roman rule in Egypt. The date regnal legend appears in the field. |

Regnal year 16 of Antoninus Pius places this coin firmly within one of the most administratively stable periods of the Roman Empire — a reign so free of military crisis that the Historia Augusta famously struggled to find dramatic material to record. Alexandria's mint operated on the Egyptian calendar year system, meaning these bronzes functioned within a provincial monetary structure entirely separate from the imperial coinage of Rome, denominated in drachms and fractions rather than the western sesterce or as.
The Alexandria mint under Antoninus was prolific, producing an exceptional variety of reverse types tied to Egyptian religious and civic themes across each regnal year. Year 16 issues are well-documented in Dattari and Emmett's corpora.
