| Beschrijving keerzijde | Bare radiate head of the deified Augustus facing right, depicted with flowing hair and a radiate crown denoting his divine status. The head is rendered in the idealised Hellenistic-Egyptian tradition characteristic of Alexandrian coinage. The legend ΘΕΟΣ ΣΕΒΑΣΤΟΣ, meaning 'Divine Augustus', is distributed in the field around the portrait, confirming the posthumous deification of the first emperor. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck in Year 20 of Tiberius's reign, this Alexandrian tetradrachm belongs to a series issued under the prefect Aulus Avilius Flaccus — the same official later exiled and executed by Caligula, whose downfall Philo of Alexandria documented in bitter detail. The legend ΘΕΟΣ ΣΕΒΑΣΤΟΣ, invoking the deified Augustus rather than the reigning emperor, reflects the peculiar dynastic piety of the Alexandrian mint, which continued honoring Augustus long after his death in 14 AD.
RPC I 5103 is among the better-documented types from this regnal year, with Milne's earlier sequencing placing it confidently within the prefectural administrative calendar.
