| Additional information |
Year 19 of Hadrian's reign corresponds to 134–135 AD, a period when the emperor was deeply preoccupied with the aftermath of the Bar Kokhba revolt — the devastating Jewish uprising that had only recently been crushed, resulting in the renaming of Judaea as Syria Palaestina and the founding of Aelia Capitolina on the ruins of Jerusalem. Alexandria's mint, which dated its issues by regnal year rather than consular reckoning, was one of the most prolific producers of large bronze in the Roman world. The ΕΝΝΕΑΚ·Δ in the legend denotes year 19, the Alexandrian dating convention rendered in Greek.
