Commentary
Chaque personnage symbolisant une province est déterminé grâce à un attribut bien spécifique : un vase contenant une palme des Jeux pour l’Achaïe, un épi de blé pour l’Afrique, un lapin pour l’Espagne.
Each character symbolizing a province is determined by a very specific attribute: a vase containing a palm from the Games for Achaia, an ear of wheat for Africa, a rabbit for Spain

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.
