| Beschrijving keerzijde | Sarapis, enthroned and rendered frontally, is depicted riding a biga drawn by two Tritons, who are shown in profile moving through water. The deity raises his right hand in a gesture of benediction or authority directed toward an eagle, which is shown in flight carrying a canopus (the sacred vessel associated with Osiris) in its talons. This syncretic reverse type combines Greek, Roman, and Egyptian religious iconography, reflecting the cosmopolitan theology of Ptolemaic and Roman Alexandria. The regnal date legend appears in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 12 of Trajan's reign in Egypt — 108/109 AD — falls squarely within the period of his Dacian campaigns, and Alexandria's mint was operating under the administrative pressure of supplying a province whose grain exports were financing Roman military logistics across the eastern Mediterranean. The Alexandrian bronze series of this regnal year is moderately common by provincial standards, though the largest module pieces in particular show significant variation in flan preparation, with many exhibiting the rough, uneven edges characteristic of locally cast rather than rolled bronze stock.
