| Beschrijving keerzijde | Lycurgus, the mythological Thracian king, depicted kneeling to the right with his knee resting on a vine-stump, his arms drawn back and restrained by entwining vines — the divine punishment of Dionysus. The figure's head is raised, conveying anguish or struggle. An axe is depicted between his legs, alluding to the myth in which Lycurgus attacked the vines of Dionysus. The regnal date appears in the field as the Alexandrian year numeral. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 18 of Antoninus Pius's reign, which this coin marks with the regnal date, fell during one of the more administratively stable periods of Roman Egypt — a province managed with unusual bureaucratic intensity, its grain output feeding much of Rome. Alexandrian bronzes of this reign are plentiful, but weight variation across the series is pronounced; at 20.70g this piece sits toward the lighter end of the Æ33 range, consistent with the gradual debasement of the nome coinage observed through the later years of Pius's prefecture issues.
