Beschrijving voorzijde Laureate bust of the emperor Trajan facing right, depicted nude with an aegis draped over the left shoulder, a convention blending Roman imperial iconography with divine attributes. The Greek legend is arranged around the periphery of the flan. The portrait follows the standard Trajanic type employed on Alexandrian provincial coinage, rendered in the bold, summary style characteristic of Egyptian workshop production.

Aanvullende informatie

Antinoopolis — the city whose name appears in the ethnic on this coin's reverse — did not yet exist when Trajan ruled. That city was Hadrian's creation, founded in 130 AD in honor of his drowned favorite. The ethnic ΑΝΤΑΙΟΠΟΛΙΤΗϹ here refers instead to Antaeopolis, the ancient nome capital at modern Qaw el-Kebir, whose cult of the falcon-god Nemty gave the district its identity long before Roman administration reorganized Egypt into its numbered regnal-year coinage system.

L ΙΓ places this piece in Year 13 of Trajan's reign — 109/110 AD — a date confirmed against the Alexandrian regnal calendar running from the Roman accession rather than the calendar year.
