| Reverse description | Draped bust of Selene facing right, her head crowned with a crescent set upon a taenia, symbolising the lunar deity in her classical guise. Before the bust, an upright torch is depicted in the field, serving as an additional divine attribute associated with Selene. The date regnal legend L Δ (Year 4) appears in the field, denoting the fourth year of Antoninus Pius's reign as reckoned by the Alexandrian calendar. The composition is characteristic of the Alexandrian mint's practice of featuring deities of the Egyptian-Hellenistic pantheon on provincial bronzes. |
