AR23 - Antoninus Pius L ΙϚ

Year 16 of Antoninus Pius corresponds to 152–153 AD, a moment of relative administrative calm in Egypt — no revolt, no flood crisis on record, no dramatic policy shift. The Alexandria mint was nonetheless prolific, and billon tetradrachms of this regnal year survive in reasonable numbers, suggesting uninterrupted production. Emmett 1428.16 is well-attested across major collections, with Dattari 2989 providing the foundational reference from his early twentieth-century Cairo hoard documentation.
