Commentary
Poids lourd. il est toujours difficile de trancher entre as et dupondius pour les émissions comprises entre 134 et 138. Ici avec un buste lauré, nous sommes bien en présence d’un as.
Heavyweight. It is always difficult to decide between ace and dupondius for issues between 134 and 138. Here, with a laureate bust, we are indeed in the presence of an ace.

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.
