| Reverse description | Sarapis enthroned to the left, wearing the modius (kalathos) crown atop his head and draped in a himation, his right hand extended and his left hand gripping a tall sceptre. At his feet before the throne crouches Cerberus, the three-headed guardian of the underworld, rendered in low relief. The regnal date legend L Ε appears divided in the field, with L to the left and Ε to the right of the enthroned deity. The composition follows the canonical Alexandrian type for Sarapis, reflecting the syncretic Greco-Egyptian religious iconography prominent under the Antonine dynasty. |
