Year two of Antoninus Pius's reign marks his first full regnal year as recognized in Alexandria's local calendar, which ran from the Egyptian month of Thoth — the Alexandrian new year fell in late August, meaning this coin was struck within months of Hadrian's death in July 138. The Alexandrian mint maintained its own dating system independent of Rome, reckoning by regnal years rather than consular dates, a practice that makes Egyptian provincial bronzes among the most precisely datable coins of the entire Roman empire.
ΕΤΟΥϹ Β — "year two" — places this piece in that narrow first-year window before the mint had fully settled into Antonine iconographic conventions.
