Year 14 of Trajan's reign — the regnal year encoded in the ΛΙΔ date — places this issue squarely between the two Dacian Wars, after Decebalus's defeat in 102 but before the final campaign of 105–106 that destroyed the Dacian kingdom entirely. The Alexandrian mint ran on its own dating system, independent of Rome, a bureaucratic habit inherited from the Ptolemies that survived three centuries of Roman administration without interruption.
Bronze coinage from the Alexandrian series in this period is notoriously inconsistent in weight and module, the result of blanks prepared with little standardization at the flan stage.
