| Reverse description | Dikaiosyne, the personification of Justice, enthroned and seated to the left upon a high-backed chair. She holds a pair of scales in her outstretched left hand and a cornucopia in her right arm, symbolizing equity and abundance. The regnal year date appears in the left field as L Δ (Year 4), corresponding to the fourth year of Antoninus Pius's reign in the Alexandrian calendar (140–141 AD). The composition reflects the standard allegorical iconography employed on Alexandrian imperial tetradrachms of the Antonine period. |
