Commentary
Double frappe intéressante avec une partie de la légende de droit se retrouvant au revers et une partie de la légende de revers au droit ! Revers très important, utilisé pour la première fois dans le monnayage en tant que tel après l’installation du nouvel atelier de Rome sous le règne de Domitien. Sera ensuite repris par Antonin, Septime Sévère, Caracalla et Élagabal.
An interesting double strike, with part of the obverse legend appearing on the reverse and part of the reverse legend on the obverse! This reverse is very important, having been used for the first time in coinage as such after the establishment of the new mint in Rome during the reign of Domitian. It was later adopted by Antoninus Pius, Septimius Severus, Caracalla, and Elagabalus.

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.
