背面描述	Draped bust of Sarapis Pantheos facing right, wearing a kalathos (modius) atop the head and exhibiting a ram's horn curving around the ear, attributes associating the deity with Ammon and underscoring the syncretic Greco-Egyptian character of the type. Before the bust, a trident with a serpent entwined around its shaft serves as a prominent divine symbol. The date regnal formula appears in the field in two Greek characters. The overall composition is bold and deeply struck, consistent with large-module Alexandrian bronze coinage of the Antonine period.

附加信息	Year five of Antoninus Pius's reign — the regnal year encoded in the Greek numeral on this piece — fell during a period of unusual administrative stability in Roman Egypt. The prefect Lucius Munatius Felix oversaw the province during these years, and Alexandrian bronze production under his tenure was notably prolific, with a wide range of reverse types issued simultaneously to serve a population that used these large bronzes as the backbone of local commerce. Roman Egypt operated under a closed currency system; coins minted at Alexandria could not legally circulate elsewhere in the empire, nor could imperial coinage enter Egypt without exchange.
