| Reverse description | Emperor Hadrian, togate and laureate, holding a long scepter in his left hand, stands facing left with his right hand extended to receive two ears of grain offered by the personification of Alexandria, who stands to the right wearing the distinctive elephant-skin headdress and holding a vexillum or military standard. The regnal year date appears in the field. The composition is a characteristic Alexandrian civic type celebrating the emperor's visit or benefactions to the city, with both figures rendered in a formal, hieratic stance. |
