Commentary


Poids léger. Portrait expressif. Rubans de type 3. Cette variété avec le pan de paludamentum sur l’épaule au droit avec le buste cuirassé (B*01) et Hadrien tenant le parazonium au revers semble complètement inédit et non récensé. La légende de revers présente d’autre part une faute d’orthographe avec TV - P pour TR - P.

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.
