| Additional information |
Year 14 of Antoninus Pius's reign — rendered as L ΙΔ in the Alexandrian dating system — fell squarely within the most stable stretch of his 23-year rule, a period so free of military crisis that later emperors, including Marcus Aurelius, cited it as the benchmark for peaceful governance. The Alexandria mint operated under Roman administrative oversight but retained its own billon fabric and regnal-year dating, a practice unique among Roman provincial mints and maintained unbroken from Augustus through Diocletian's monetary reforms.
