| Reverse description | The enthroned deity Sarapis is depicted seated to the left, holding a long sceptre upright in his left hand, wearing his characteristic modius (kalathos) headdress. At his feet crouches Cerberus, the three-headed guardian of the underworld, referencing Sarapis's chthonic associations. On the throne, a small figure of Nike (Victory) is rendered in relief. The regnal date legend L ΚΒ (Year 22, corresponding to 158–159 AD) appears in the field. |
