Year 18 of Antoninus Pius's reign, which is what the L ΙΗ regnal dating denotes — a peculiarity of Alexandrian civic coinage, which numbered years from the emperor's accession rather than by consular year. The Alexandria mint operated under Roman prefectural authority but maintained this distinctly Egyptian dating convention throughout the imperial period, making Alexandrian bronzes among the most precisely datable provincial issues in the entire Roman series.
