Commentary
Avec l’intégralité de son argenture superficielle. Rubans de type 3. Ptéryges larges sous le paludamentum. Ce type avec le thêta pour l’an 9 semble beaucoup plus rare car le lettre est aussi assimilée avec la mort (Thanatos).
With all of its surface silvering. Type 3 ribbons. Wide pteryges under the paludamentum. This type with theta for year 9 seems much rarer because the letter is also associated with death (Thanatos)

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.
