This "Reaper" type and the "Ploughman" type are usually included in 
the Alexandrian mythological and pictorial coin series. Although 
not mythological in derivation, they may represent their respective 
constellations or seasons. The common "Nilus reclining' types 
often with the flood level given in numerals (usually "IS") represent 
the flooding of the Nile, the most important 'season' for the ancient 
Egyptians.
