Æ27 - Trajan L ΙΑ

Year 11 of Trajan's reign in Egypt — 107/108 AD — falls squarely within the Dacian War period, with the second campaign concluded and Dacia formally annexed. Alexandria's mint continued producing its distinctive bronze coinage on the Egyptian regnal year system, entirely independent of Rome's consular or tribunician dating, a bureaucratic legacy of Ptolemaic administration that the imperial government never bothered to dismantle. Egyptian provincial bronzes of this period circulated almost exclusively within Egypt's borders, legally prohibited from export as part of Rome's closed currency system for the province.
