| Additional information |
Pertinax held the throne for 87 days before the Praetorian Guard murdered him in March 193 AD, triggering the infamous auction of the empire. Alexandria's mint, operating on an Egyptian regnal-year calendar, only had time to produce coins for Year 1 — L A — before news of his death ended the issue. His wife Flavia Titiana, named here as Augusta, appears on almost no coinage from Rome itself, making the Alexandrian provincial mint one of the only authorities that struck in her name at all.
