| Reverse description | Radiate-headed and draped bust of Sarapis Pantheos facing right, wearing a kalathos (modius) atop the head and displaying a ram's horn curling around the ear, emblematic of his syncretistic identity combining Serapis with Ammon. A cornucopia appears at the shoulder, symbolising abundance, while before the bust stands a trident with a serpent entwined around its shaft, evoking Poseidon and chthonic power. The regnal date legend L Ϛ (Year 6) appears in the field. The composition reflects the rich Graeco-Egyptian religious iconography characteristic of Alexandrian provincial coinage under the Antonines. |
