Commentary
Poids exceptionnel ! David Sear décrit le buste comme cuirassé. Nous ne voyons pas de trace de ptéryges ou de cuirasse sous le paludamentum. Cette émission se caractérise par l’emploi de bustes particuliers, parfois exceptionnels qui sont parmi les plus beaux du règne d’Hadrien.
Exceptional weight! David Sear describes the bust as armored. We see no trace of pteryges or armor beneath the paludamentum. This issue is characterized by the use of special, sometimes exceptional, busts that are among the finest of Hadrian's reign.

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.
