Commentary
Rubans de type 3. Légendes au datif de dédicace comme pour le monnayage de Trajan. Portrait tout à fait exceptionnel pour ce type de monnayage. L’une des rares émissions à donner la filiation complète d’Hadrien avec Nerva comme grand-père adoptif. C’est encore une fois, en début de règne, une émission dynastique.
Ribbons of type 3. Legends with the dative of dedication as for the coinage of Trajan. Portrait quite exceptional for this type of coinage. One of the rare issues to give the complete filiation of Hadrian with Nerva as adoptive grandfather. It is once again, at the beginning of the reign, a dynastic issue.

Historical background
HADRIAN
(08/11/117-07/10/138)
Hadrian was born in 76 in Italica. Pupil of Trajan, he married in 100 Sabine, grand-niece of the emperor, and made a career in the staff of the latter, in particular during the Dacian campaign. In 117, he succeeded Trajan, and traveled for twenty years, visiting the entire empire - the only Emperor to have lent himself to this exercise. In 122, Hadrian went to Spain. Childless, he first chose Aélius to succeed him in 136, but the latter died on January 1, 138. Hadrian then adopted Antonin on February 25 and himself chose Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus as Antoninus' heirs. He died on July 10, 138.
