| Reverse description | Draped bust of Sarapis facing right, wearing the characteristic kalathos (modius) on his head and a taenia, rendered in the syncretic Greco-Egyptian religious tradition. Below the bust, an eagle stands facing right with head turned left and wings spread, serving as a divine attribute emblematic of both Zeus and the imperial cult as practiced in Ptolemaic-Roman Alexandria. The regnal year dating appears in the field as the only legend. |
