The altar is rendered with horizontal mouldings and lateral volutes characteristic of Antiochene civic bronze coinage. The Greek date legend ΕΤ ΖΟΡ appears in the exergue, corresponding to year 177 of the Caesarean era of Antioch (128–129 AD), with the workshop or series mark Γ placed beneath the altar. |

The dating formula on this piece — year 177 of the Caesarean era (ΕΤ ΖΟΡ) combined with the tribal letter Γ — places it squarely within Hadrian's celebrated visit to Antioch, one of the eastern empire's most politically charged moments. Hadrian arrived in Syria around 129 AD and used the city as a administrative base during his broader eastern tour, during which local bronze issues proliferated as civic authorities minted to accommodate the increased economic activity his entourage generated.
The tribal designation Γ refers to one of Antioch's civic divisions used for administrative and possibly distribution purposes, a system seen across several Antiochene bronze series of this period.
