Commentary
Semble complètement inédit et non recensé avec cette représentation de Pax. Sur cet exemplaire, la légende PAX AVG semble absente, mais le type est bien identifié par les attributs de PAX, en particulier la branche d’olivier. Ce type semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
Appears to be completely unpublished and unrecorded with this representation of Pax. On this example, the legend PAX AVG seems absent, but the type is clearly identified by the attributes of PAX, in particular the olive branch. This type seems much rarer than general works suggest.

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.
