| Reverse description | Athena standing facing, head turned to the left, clad in chiton and aegis, holding a spear in her right hand and resting her left arm upon a grounded shield at her side. The goddess is depicted in a formal, hieratic stance characteristic of Alexandrian provincial coinage. The regnal date legend L ΚΒ (year 22) appears in the field, flanking the figure to left and right respectively. The overall style reflects the accomplished die-cutting tradition of the Alexandrian mint during the Antonine period. |
