| Reverse description | Sarapis, the syncretic Greco-Egyptian deity, enthroned and seated to the left, wearing the modius (kalathos) on his head and a himation draped over his lower body. He holds a long sceptre in his left hand and extends his right hand forward over Cerberus, the three-headed guardian hound of the underworld, who sits at his feet to the left. The reverse field carries the regnal date legend L ΠΕΜΠΤΟΥ (Year 5), corresponding to the fifth regnal year of Severus Alexander (225–226 AD). The composition is rendered in the fluid, eclectic style characteristic of Alexandrian tetradrachm coinage of the Severan period. |
