Commentary


Hadrien a obtenu son troisième consulat en 119. Malgré les années écoulées entre son obtention et la frappe de ce sesterce, le troisième restera son dernier consulat. Ce type de droit débute en 133 et ne prendra fin qu’en 138, à sa mort.
Hadrian obtained his third consulate in 119. Despite the years that elapsed between his obtaining and the minting of this sesterce, the third will remain his last consulate. This type of right began in 133 and did not end until 138, upon his death.

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.
