| Beschrijving keerzijde | Ares, the god of war, depicted advancing to the right in a dynamic martial pose, clad in military attire. He carries a trophy over his left shoulder and holds a spear in his right hand, with a small figure or captive visible at his feet. The date legend L ΚΒ (regnal year 22) is inscribed in the field, split to either side of the central figure. The reverse exhibits the bold, somewhat provincial style typical of Alexandrian bronze coinage of the Antonine period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 22 of Antoninus Pius's reign, which is what the regnal date L ΚΒ records, fell during one of the more administratively stable decades of the entire Principate — a fact that makes Alexandrian bronze coinage from this period abundant rather than rare. The Alexandria mint operated under Roman prefectural authority and produced a closed currency system: Egyptian bronzes could not legally circulate outside the province, and foreign coinage had to be exchanged at the border, a policy that kept the local monetary supply under tight imperial control.
Alexandrian bronzes of this size and period are frequently found with rough, porous surfaces owing to the Nile Delta's soil chemistry.
