Commentary
Poids lourd. Les auteurs du Roman Provincial Coinage n’ont recensé que deux exemplaires avec un buste lauré à droite, drapé sur l’épaule (O*2). Semble complètement inédit et manque aux ouvrages de référence C’est la première fois que nous présentons cet exemplaire à la vente.
Heavy weights. The authors of the Roman Provincial Coinage have identified only two examples with a laureate bust on the right, draped over the shoulder (O*2). Seems completely unpublished and missing from reference works This is the first time we are presenting this example for sale

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.
