Æ23 - Commodus L ΚΓ

Year 23 of Commodus corresponds to 182–183 AD, a period when his reign was already marked by the aftermath of a serious assassination attempt — the Commodian conspiracy of 182, in which his sister Lucilla was implicated. The resulting purges reshaped the imperial court and accelerated Commodus's increasingly erratic consolidation of personal power. Alexandrian bronzes of this year were struck under the prefect of Egypt within a provincial system that had operated its own distinct dating and coinage since Augustus formalized it.
