| Obverse lettering | Μ ΑΥΡΗΛΙΟϹ ΚΑΙϹΑΡ (Translation: Marcus Aurelius Caesar) |
| Reverse description | A tetrastyle or distyle temple façade rendered with two prominent columns framing a cult statue of Sarapis seated upon a throne, facing left, holding a long sceptre in his left hand; at his feet crouches Cerberus, the three-headed guardian of the underworld, a standard iconographic attribute of Sarapis in Alexandrian coinage. The regnal year legend appears in the field, recording the twelfth year of Antoninus Pius's reign. The composition reflects the deep syncretism of Greco-Egyptian religious iconography characteristic of Alexandrian civic coinage. |
