| Reverse description | Triptolemus, the legendary hero of the Eleusinian Mysteries and patron of agriculture, is depicted standing or seated in a biga drawn by two winged serpents moving to the right. He holds grain seeds gathered in the folds of his chlamys, referencing his mythological role as the spreader of agriculture throughout the world. The scene is rendered in the Hellenistic artistic tradition characteristic of Alexandrian provincial coinage. The regnal year date appears in the field, identifying the issue as belonging to the fifteenth year of Antoninus Pius's reign. |
