Additional information

Year 16 of Trajan's reign in Egypt — 112/113 AD — falls squarely in the period between the First and Second Dacian Wars, when the emperor was consolidating provincial administration and infrastructure rather than campaigning. Alexandrian bronze coinage of this regnal year is not particularly rare, but the ΙϚ date marker places it precisely within a system unique to Egypt, where the Roman administration maintained the old Ptolemaic practice of dating coins by regnal year rather than adopting the standard Roman consular framework.

The III#4759A reference situates this among a narrowly defined die group within the broader Trajanic Alexandrian series.
