| Reverse description | Draped bust of Nilus facing right, the deity crowned with a taenia adorned with lotus buds, a symbol of the Nile's fertile inundation. A cornucopia rests at the shoulder, referencing the abundance and prosperity associated with the river god. The reverse field is relatively plain, with the date mark L Γ (regnal year 3, corresponding to 118–119 AD) prominently placed. The style is consistent with the Alexandrian mint's treatment of local divine personifications during the Hadrianic period. |
