| Reverse description | The personification of Alexandria reclines to the left, her figure occupying the full width of the field. She holds ears of corn in her right hand and a vine branch in her left, symbolizing the city's agricultural and viticultural abundance. Her left elbow rests upon a large basket or modius filled with fruit, an emblem of Egypt's role as Rome's granary. To the left of the figure, stalks of corn interspersed with poppies rise from the ground line, further emphasizing the theme of fertility and plenty. The reverse legend and senatorial authority mark S C appear in the field. |
