| Reverse description | Jugate busts of Sarapis and Isis facing right, rendered in the syncretic Alexandrian religious tradition. Sarapis, positioned in the foreground, wears his distinctive kalathos (modius) atop his head and displays a heavily bearded visage. Isis appears behind, distinguished by her characteristic plumes headdress. The regnal year date L Ε (Year 5) appears in the field, corresponding to the fifth regnal year of Elagabalus. The pairing of these two principal Alexandrian deities reflects the deeply rooted local religious iconography employed on Alexandrian coinage. |
