| Reverse description | Zeus enthroned facing left, his robes draped across his lap, extending a patera in his right hand and holding a long sceptre or thunderbolt in his left. An eagle stands at his feet to the left, a common Alexandrian iconographic device associating the god with imperial authority. The regnal date legend L ΤΕΤΑΡΤΟΥ appears in the field, indicating the fourth year of Antoninus Pius's reign. The overall style is characteristic of the Alexandrian bronze coinage of the mid-second century AD. |
