| Additional information |
Year five of Antoninus Pius's reign — the regnal year encoded in the L Ε date formula — fell during a period of relative administrative calm in Egypt, though the province had only recently recovered from the catastrophic Jewish revolt of 115–117 AD, which had left entire districts depopulated and agricultural infrastructure in ruin. Alexandrian civic bronzes of this period were produced in a remarkably wide range of module sizes, with the Æ35 representing the largest and heaviest end of routine civic issue rather than any special emission.
The IV.4 reference places this within Dattari-Savio's revised corpus, the authoritative framework for Alexandrian imperial bronzes.
