| 背面描述 | Draped bust of Alexandria facing right, the personification of the city wearing an elephant-skin headdress, a characteristic attribute found on Alexandrian civic coinage. The bust is set within the coin's field, rendered in the distinctive provincial style of the Alexandrian mint. A Greek date legend in the field identifies the regnal year of issue. |

This piece dates to Domitian's fourth regnal year as counted by the Alexandrian calendar — "ΕΤΟΥΣ ΤΕΤΑΡΤΟΥ" being that year designation. Alexandria maintained its own bronze coinage under imperial oversight, a continuation of the Ptolemaic tradition of issuing currency distinct from the rest of the Roman provincial system. Egypt was treated as the emperor's personal estate rather than a senatorial province, and its coinage answered directly to him.
Domitian was assassinated in 96 AD, after which the Senate declared damnatio memoriae. Alexandrian bronzes bearing his name were not systematically recalled, which is why they survive in reasonable numbers.
