Token with an Obelisk and a Temple (Display Title)
Object Type: Tessera
This circular token probably served as a game counter. The obverse shows an obelisk next to a building that can be identified as a temple. It has a curvilinear roof and club-shaped columns of Egyptian style. The doorway is decorated with rectangular blocks in two rows. In the pediment, a circular ornament likely represents the sun disk. The reverse is inscribed in Greek with the name Nikopolis, along with the Roman numeral IIII and the Greek letter delta. The inscription identifies the location of the obelisk and building as Nikopolis, a suburb of Alexandria in Egypt.
