AR24 - Antoninus Pius L Η

正面描述	Laureate and draped bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, rendered in the provincial Alexandrian style with a boldly modelled portrait. The emperor's laureate wreath is depicted with prominent leaf clusters. A circular Greek legend surrounds the effigy, reading ΑΝΤΩΝΙΝΟϹ ϹΕΒ ΕΥϹ ϹΕΒ. The portrait displays the characteristic mature physiognomy of Antoninus Pius with a short beard, consistent with his later regnal years.

附加信息	Year 8 of Antoninus Pius corresponds to 144–145 AD, a moment of studied calm in imperial administration — Antoninus had already earned his cognomen "Pius" by persuading the Senate to deify Hadrian, and Egypt under his reign saw no dramatic upheaval, just the grinding machinery of Roman provincial governance. The Alexandrian mint produced billon tetradrachms in substantial quantities throughout his reign, partly to service the closed currency system Rome maintained in Egypt, where Roman denarii were officially excluded from circulation and local coinage was mandatory for all transactions within the province. The Emmett 1428 type is well-attested across collections, with Milne 1756 placing it firmly in the British Museum's Alexandrian sequence.
