| Additional information |
Year two of Domitian's reign in the Egyptian reckoning — Etos Beta — corresponds to 82–83 AD, the period immediately following his consolidation of power after Titus's death in 81. Alexandria's mint operated under strict imperial oversight, producing small bronze pieces like this for local market transactions rather than provincial tax collection, which moved in silver. At 1.05g, this example sits at the lighter end of the known weight range for this issue, consistent with gradual flan preparation loosening that characterizes later production in the regnal year.
