| Additional information |
Year 10 of Hadrian's reign corresponds to his celebrated tour of Egypt in 130 AD — but this piece predates that visit by several years, struck during the administrative normalization that followed his accession. Alexandrian bronze issues of this precise regnal year are among the thinnest and lightest of the provincial sequence, a product of ongoing adjustments to the Egyptian nome coinage rather than any single reform decree. The ΔΕ regnal notation places it firmly in year 10, a year otherwise marked by Hadrian's consolidation of frontier policy rather than anything specific to the Egyptian mint.
