Nordbø 7-23; RG 81; CNG #289 lot 209; RPC online -. Very rare issue, unpublished in many standard references. Hadrian (76–138 AD) was a Roman emperor of the Nerva–Antonine dynasty who ruled from 117 to 138 AD. He is best known as a consolidator rather than a conqueror, abandoning some of the territorial expansions of his predecessor Trajan in favor of securing and strengthening the empire’s borders. Hadrian spent much of his reign traveling across the provinces, inspecting administration and military defenses, and promoting Roman unity. His most famous construction is Hadrian’s Wall in northern Britain, marking the empire’s boundary. A great patron of Greek culture and architecture, he rebuilt major monuments such as the Pantheon in Rome. His reign is often seen as a period of stability, consolidation, and cultural flourishing within the Roman Empire.
