| Reverse description | The personification of Alexandria reclines to the left, her figure rendered in the classical allegorical style typical of Hadrian's provincial series. She holds corn ears and a vine branch in her hands, emblematic of Egypt's agricultural abundance, while leaning upon a basket of fruit. To her left, stalks of corn interspersed with occasional poppies rise from the ground line, further emphasising the fertility symbolism. The legend ALEXANDRIA appears in the field, with the senatorial authority mark S C flanking the composition. |
