Year four of Hadrian's reign in Alexandria corresponds to his first major tour of the eastern provinces, a journey that reshaped imperial policy toward Egypt and left a measurable mark on the mint's output. The Alexandrian billon tetradrachm series under Hadrian is unusually well-documented — Dattari's foundational corpus drew heavily on Egyptian hoard material, and the L Δ regnal year issues are among the better-attested within it. Emmett's later reclassification introduced minor renumbering that occasionally causes confusion between dealer citations.
