| Additional information |
Year 11 of Hadrian's reign — rendered as L ΙΑ on Alexandrian bronzes — corresponds to 126/127 AD, a period when Hadrian was actively touring the eastern provinces. He visited Egypt in 130 AD, but the administrative machinery of the Alexandria mint was already producing dated issues well before his arrival, tracking regnal years in the Egyptian calendar rather than the Roman one. The ΠΑΝΟ abbreviation denotes the month Phaophi, pinning this piece to a specific thirty-day window within that year.
