| Reverse description | Zodiacal type depicting the Sun in Leo: a radiate-headed and draped bust of Helios facing left occupies the upper field, representing the solar deity. Below, a lion strides left in dynamic posture, symbolizing the zodiacal sign of Leo. A star appears in the field before the lion, completing the celestial composition. The regnal date appears in the left field as the Greek letter eta (Η) preceded by the date marker L, indicating Year 8 of Antoninus Pius's reign. The design belongs to the celebrated Alexandrian zodiac series, notable for its sophisticated iconographic program linking imperial chronology to astral symbolism. |
