| 裏面の説明 | A complex allegorical composition featuring two principal figures. To the left, Alexandria stands facing right, wearing her characteristic cap fashioned in the form of an elephant's head, and holds corn-ears in one hand while raising a wreath with the other, symbolizing the city's agricultural abundance and civic honor. To the right, Nilus, personification of the river, is seated left upon rocky ground from which a crocodile ascends, and holds a cornucopia and a reed, emblematic of the river's fertility and the Egyptian landscape. The regnal year date L Γ (Year 3) appears in the field. |

Year 3 of Marcus Aurelius's reign — the regnal year encoded in the L Γ date formula — coincided with the opening of the Parthian War, when Vologases IV's forces overran Roman Armenia and destroyed a full legion under Severianus at Elegeia. Egypt's mints continued issuing bronze for local circulation throughout, the Alexandrian tetradrachm and its associated bronze fractions functioning as a closed currency system that never left the province by design.
