| Beschrijving keerzijde | A triumphal arch depicted in architectural elevation, showing a broad central archway flanked by pilasters or columns, surmounted by an attic on which two horses advance in opposite directions — a quadriga or biga group typical of Roman triumphal iconography. The legend ΚΑΙϹΑΡ (Caesar) appears in the field, divided to either side of the arch. The composition reflects Augustan commemorative imagery celebrating Roman military victory. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Augustus never visited Egypt after his initial conquest in 30 BC, yet the Alexandrian mint operated under exceptionally tight imperial oversight — Egypt was classified as a personal possession of the emperor, off-limits to senators, and its coinage ran on a closed monetary system that prevented Roman silver from freely circulating within the province. Bronze issues like this one fed everyday transactions in a market economy the Romans were careful never to fully integrate.
The regnal year system used on Alexandrian bronzes allows tighter dating than almost any other provincial series of the period.
