Æ18 - Nero ΕΤ·ΗΡ

The ΕΤ·ΗΡ date formula marks this as year 108 of the Actian Era, placing production squarely in the fourth year of Nero's reign — a period when Antioch was serving as the primary logistical base for Corbulo's campaigns against Parthia over control of Armenia. The city's mint was unusually active during these years, producing the small bronze fractions that fed daily commerce in a city swollen with legionary traffic and military supply chains.
