| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 11 of Hadrian's reign falls squarely within his extended tour of the eastern provinces, a journey that reshaped imperial policy toward Alexandria and Egypt more broadly. Hadrian visited the city in 130 AD — slightly after this coin's issue — but his administration's engagement with Alexandria was already visible in his 120s coinage program, which used the distinctive Egyptian regnal dating system the Romans had preserved since Augustus absorbed the province in 30 BC.
The billon fabric here reflects chronic silver depletion in the Alexandrian mint's supply chain, a problem that would worsen steadily through the second century.
