Commentary
Rubans de type 3. Petit pan de paludamentum sur l’épaule gauche qui pourrait faire penser à une égide. Sur ce type, Hadrien ressemble encore à Trajan qui vient de décéder. La monnaie est datée de l’an 428 de l’ère séleucide qui débute en 312/311 avant J.-C. Légende fautée au droit avec TRAINOC au lieu de TRAIANOC, signalé sur deux exemplaires de la documentation du RPC online.
Type 3 ribbons. Small section of paludamentum on the left shoulder which could suggest an aegis. On this type, Hadrian still looks like Trajan who has just died. The coin is dated to the year 428 of the Seleucid era which begins in 312/311 BC. Legend incorrectly written with TRAINOC instead of TRAIANOC, reported on two examples of the RPC online documentation

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.
