| Reverse description | Athena standing facing with head turned to the left, clad in aegis and chiton, extending her right hand to hold a small Nike bearing a wreath, while her left arm rests upon a large grounded shield at her side. The composition reflects the standard Alexandrian rendering of Athena Promachos adapted for provincial coinage. The regnal year date in Greek numerals L Ε (year 5, corresponding to 221–222 AD) appears in the field. The style is characteristic of the Alexandrian mint under Elagabalus, with bold relief and fluid drapery lines. |
