Additional information

Year five of Antoninus Pius's reign — the regnal year marked by the L Ε reverse date — coincided with a particularly active period for the Alexandrian mint, which operated under Roman provincial authority but maintained its own dating system tied to the Egyptian calendar. The mint's output that year was substantial, yet condition survivors are skewed heavily toward lower grades, largely because these large bronzes circulated hard in a city of over half a million people.

Dattari-Savio IV.4 #464 places this among a well-catalogued but not exhaustively studied emission.
