| Aanvullende informatie |
By 266–267, the Alexandrian mint was operating under acute pressure — Gallienus had lost Britain, Gaul, and the East to breakaway regimes and was fighting on multiple fronts simultaneously. The Homonoia type, invoking harmony and concord, was a deliberate piece of political messaging directed at an empire visibly fracturing. Egypt remained loyal, and the mint leaned hard into loyalty iconography during precisely these years.
Billon by this date was billon in name only — silver content in Alexandrian tetradrachms had collapsed to single-digit percentages by the 260s.
