| Reverse description | Isis standing to the right, attired in her characteristic Egyptian vulture headdress, holding a long sceptre in her raised right hand and what appear to be apples or similar offerings in her lowered left hand. Behind her stands the sacred Apis bull, also oriented to the right, rendered with careful attention to its divine bovine form. The composition identifies the Memphite nome, the administrative district centered on Memphis, with the regnal year appearing in the exergual legend. The iconography reflects the syncretic religious traditions of Roman Egypt. |
