| Beschrijving keerzijde | Apollo stands facing with head turned to the right, his right hand raised to his head, while his left hand supports a lyre. To the right, Artemis stands facing with head turned to the left, holding a bow. The two deities are presented in a hieratic, symmetrical arrangement typical of Alexandrian provincial bronzes. The date legend appears in the field, recording regnal year 16 in the Egyptian calendar. The composition reflects the syncretic religious iconography characteristic of Roman Egypt. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 16 of Trajan's reign in Egypt, running from August 112 to August 113, fell squarely within the period of his Parthian preparations — the logistics of which ran directly through Alexandria, Rome's primary grain hub and eastern supply conduit. The Alexandrian mint dated its bronzes by regnal year rather than consular date, a holdover from Ptolemaic practice that Egypt's Roman administrators never saw fit to abandon.
The L ΙϚ date formula, with the lunate L serving as shorthand for *etos* (year), is specific enough to pin this piece to a single twelve-month window.
