| Additional information |
Year 12 of Trajan's reign in Egypt — 108/109 AD — falls squarely in the middle of the Dacian Wars, and Alexandrian bronze coinage of this period was struck under the Roman prefect while Egypt functioned as the emperor's personal property, legally separate from the senatorial provinces. The city mint at Alexandria operated on a regnal year system tied to the Egyptian calendar, which is why the L ΙΒ date formula appears rather than a consular or tribunician notation.
The III#4329A reference places this within a recognized but sparsely documented subgroup of Trajanic Alexandrian issues.
