| Additional information |
Year 21 of Caracalla's Egyptian regnal count corresponds to 212–213 AD, the year he issued the Constitutio Antoniniana, extending Roman citizenship to virtually all free inhabitants of the empire. Alexandria's mint continued operating under the traditional Ptolemaic-derived regnal dating system long after Egypt became a Roman province, a bureaucratic conservatism that persisted for over two centuries of Roman rule.
