| Reverse description | Hermanubis, the syncretic Graeco-Egyptian deity combining Hermes and Anubis, standing to the right and wearing a kalathos (basket-crown) upon his head. The figure holds a caduceus in one hand and a palm-leaf in the other, emblematic of both the messenger god and funerary associations. A jackal, sacred to Anubis, is depicted behind the standing figure. The regnal date legend L ΚΒ (Year 22) appears in the field, corresponding to the 22nd year of Antoninus Pius's reign. The reverse design reflects the distinctive religious syncretism of Roman Alexandria. |
