| Reverse description | Antoninus Pius, bare-headed and toga-clad, stands to the right holding a scroll in his left hand, clasping the right hand of Faustina I, who stands facing left, veiled and holding a long sceptre in her left hand. Between the two figures stands a thymiaterion (incense burner), a detail emphasising the religious or ceremonial nature of the scene. The composition likely commemorates the concordia or consecratio of the imperial couple. The date regnal formula L Ε appears in the field, denoting Year 5 of Antoninus Pius's reign in the Alexandrian calendar. |
