| Reverse description | Asclepius, the god of medicine, depicted standing facing with head turned to the left. In his right hand he holds a patera extended over an Egyptian-style altar, while his left hand clasps the serpent-entwined staff (caduceus/rod of Asclepius). The regnal date legend L Ε appears in the field, denoting the fifth year of Antoninus Pius's reign in Egypt. The composition reflects the syncretistic religious imagery characteristic of Alexandrian civic coinage under the Antonine dynasty. |
