附加信息	Year 9 of Hadrian's reign in Egypt, corresponding to 124–125 AD, fell during his first great tour of the empire — a journey that took him through the eastern provinces and eventually to Alexandria itself. The Alexandrian mint produced an enormous range of small bronzes for local circulation during these years, many tied directly to his visits and the imperial cult activity they generated. At 1.22g, this piece is toward the low end even for the Æ12 class, suggesting either significant die wear by the time this blank was struck or deliberate undercutting of the flan weight late in the year's production run.
