Reverse:
Hadrian, togate,
standing left and holding sceptre, greets Alexandria wearing elephant
cap, short chiton with dipolis, peplos and boots, holding grain
ears and kissing Hadrian's hand. L Ε across.
NOTE: For
an interesting article on why this may be a representation of Alexander
the Great rather than the personification of Alexandria, see Andrew
Chugg's article in The Celator, Vol. 15, No. 2, Feb 2001.
