Commentary
Rubans de type 3. Les ptéryges sont visibles sous le plaudamentum. L’année de règne n’est pas visible sur cet exemplaire. Ce type semble beaucoup plus rare pour l’hmidrachme qui n’a été frappé que pour les années 2, 6, 16 et19.
Type 3 ribbons. The pteryges are visible under the plaudamentum. The regnal year is not visible on this example. This type seems much rarer for the hmidrachm, which was only struck for the years 2, 6, 16, and 19.

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.
