| Reverse description | Draped bust of Sarapis facing right, wearing the distinctive kalathos (modius), the cylindrical headdress emblematic of the syncretic Graeco-Egyptian deity. The drapery is rendered across the shoulders in flowing folds consistent with Alexandrian provincial die-cutting conventions. The regnal date legend appears in the right field, flanking the bust. The design reflects the prominent role of Sarapis in Alexandrian civic and religious iconography under the Antonine dynasty. |
