Commentary


Semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages de référence. Droit et revers font référence à l’Équité (H1/ 126). C’est la première fois que nous proposons ce type à la vente qui semble de la plus grande rareté et dont le premier exemplaire fut signalé comme provenant de la collection Hartwig en 1910, n° 1424.
Appears much rarer than reference works suggest. Obverse and reverse refer to Equity (H1/126). This is the first time we have offered this type for sale, which appears to be extremely rare and whose first example was reported as coming from the Hartwig collection in 1910, no. 1424

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.
