| Beschrijving keerzijde | Tyche, turreted and draped, reclines to the left upon a lectisternium — a cushioned ceremonial couch rendered with carefully incised parallel lines suggesting rich textile drapery. She raises her right hand and holds a rudder in her left, symbolising the fortune and guidance of Alexandria. The regnal date legend L ΙΗ (year 18) appears prominently in the upper left field, within a plain border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 18 of Trajan's reign fell during the buildup to his Parthian campaign, launched in 115 AD — the most ambitious Roman eastern offensive since Mark Antony. The Alexandrian mint dated its bronzes by regnal year rather than consular or tribunician reckoning, making the L ΙΗ date formula a precise anchor within an otherwise busy administrative period for Egypt, which was simultaneously being organized as a supply base for the invasion.
