| Aanvullende informatie |
Hadrian's Egyptian tour of 130–131 AD was among the most consequential imperial visits in the province's history — it included the founding of Antinoopolis following the drowning of his companion Antinous in the Nile, and prompted a wave of coinage celebrating his arrivals across the eastern empire. The ADVENTVS series, of which the Alexandria type is a distinct issue, was minted not as casual commemorative work but as deliberate political messaging, circulated among the administrative and military elite who would understand its geographic specificity.
The Alexandria type within RIC II.3 is among the more geographically explicit of the ADVENTVS group, distinguishing the Egyptian capital from the broader eastern tour issues.
