| Additional information |
Year 5 of Hadrian's reign fell during his first great tour of the provinces, a journey that reshaped imperial policy across the eastern Mediterranean. Caesarea in Cappadocia — the administrative capital of a strategically critical frontier province bordering Armenia and Parthia — struck bronze locally in regnal years rather than by Roman dating, a practice that makes precise die-sequence work possible for specialists. RPC III 3054 is among the smaller denominations from this mint and survives in relatively few examples, partly because small Cappadocian bronzes were poorly preserved in regional soil conditions.
