Commentary
Semble complètement inédit et non répertorié. Manque aux ouvrages généraux consultés. Ce type de buste a déjà été signalé avec un autre type de revers (Felicitas), MONNAIES IX, n° 232. Le revers (Clementia) a déja été signalé, mais avec seulement la tête nue (cf. MONNAIES XIII, n° 271). Nous avons avec ce denier une sorte d’hybride avec un buste tête nue, drapé sur l’épaule gauche (O°2), associé au revers Clementia.
Seems to be completely unpublished and unlisted. Missing from the general works consulted. This type of bust has already been reported with another type of reverse (Felicitas), COINS IX, no. 232. The reverse (Clementia) has already been reported, but with only the bare head (cf. COINS XIII, no. 271). With this denier we have a sort of hybrid with a bare-headed bust, draped over the left shoulder (O°2), associated with the Clementia reverse

Historical background
HADRIAN
(+10 /07/138)
Posthumus issues
Events precipitated in 138. After the death of Sabine the previous year, it was the turn of Aélius, the adopted son of Hadrian to die at the beginning of the year (January 1). The emperor is sick and misanthropic. He eliminates his brother-in-law and his grand-nephew and purges the Senate before adopting Antonin on February 10, 138. When he dies on July 10, 138, the resentful senators first refuse the deification of their enemy. It will take all the pugnacity of Antoninus to obtain the divine homage for his adoptive father whose ashes are deposited in the cenotaph, which has now become the Castel Sant'Angelo. Antonin, meanwhile, will be awarded the title of "Pius" for his determination and his Piety.
