| Reverse description | The river god Nilus reclines to the left upon the back of a hippopotamus, his body semi-draped in the classical tradition. He holds a cornucopia in his left arm, symbolizing the fertility of the Nile flood, and a reed in his right hand. The date regnal year mark L Ε (Year 5) appears in the left field. The composition reflects the enduring Alexandrian iconographic tradition celebrating the sacred Nile. |
