Commentary
Poids léger. C’est le troisième exemplaire signalé après celui de New York et de la collection BCD. Sur cet exemplaire, Hadrien semble drapé vu de trois quarts en arrière (A°01) ce qui en ferait alors une variante complètement inédite pour ce type. Semble en bien meilleur état de conservation que l’exemplaire de New York.
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.
