Commentary
Un seul ruban visible, Grosse tête. Petit pan de paludamentum sur l’épaule gauche. Le type de revers se rencontre rarement pour l’empereur étant réservé plutôt aux femmes. Il est associé pour la première fois à un système de marquage de l’exergue (un globe) déjà rencontré sur certaines monnaies de Domitien quarante ans plus tôt.
A single ribbon visible, Large head. Small panel of paludamentum on the left shoulder. This type of reverse is rarely found for the emperor, being reserved rather for women. It is associated for the first time with a system of marking the exergue (a globe) already encountered on certain coins of Domitian forty years earlier.

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.
