AR24 - Septimius Severus L Δ

Year 4 of Severus's reign in the Alexandrian reckoning, falling during the period when he was actively fighting Pescennius Niger for control of the East. Alexandria had backed Niger initially, and Severus's subsequent treatment of the city was punitive — he withheld the civic senate (boulé) from Alexandria for decades as punishment, a grudge the city carried well into the third century.
