Æ32 - Antoninus Pius L Γ

Year three of Antoninus Pius's reign — the regnal year denoted by L Γ — marked the first full Alexandrian mint cycle after Hadrian's death in July 138. The transition was administratively smooth but ideologically pointed: Antoninus moved quickly to secure divine honors for Hadrian over Senate resistance, a political fight that earned him the cognomen "Pius" and directly shaped the imagery pushed through provincial mints including Alexandria during this period.
