EGYPT, Alexandria. Aelius. Caesar, AD 136-138. Æ Diobol (24mm, 7.91 g, 12h). Dated RY 21 of Hadrian (AD 136/7). Bareheaded and draped bust right, seen from the front / ΔHM ЄΞO V C VΠAT B, Euthenia standing facing, head left, holding patera and grain ears. Köln 1272; Dattari (Savio) 7998; K&G 34.6; RPC III 6242; Emmett 1353. Repatinated brown surfaces, porosity, edge split and flan crack. Near VF.

This reverse has typically been referred to as Homonoia but Homonoia holds a cornucopia and patera, this figure holds grain ears. An attribution to Euthenia seems more likely.
