| Aversbeschreibung | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, with paludamentum visible at the shoulder. The portrait displays the characteristic short beard of Hadrian, rendered in the provincial style typical of Epirote civic coinage. The circular Greek legend surrounds the imperial effigy in the field. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Standing figure of Artemis, clad in short chiton, turned to the left in dynamic hunting pose; she draws a bow, with a quiver visible at her shoulder. A hound stands at her feet to the right, reinforcing the iconographic association with the hunt. The ethnic legend of the issuing city is inscribed in the field around the goddess, a standard compositional convention for provincial bronzes of the period. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Nicopolis in Epirus — not to be confused with the Macedonian or Moesian cities of the same name — was founded by Augustus to commemorate his victory at Actium in 31 BC, the battle fought just a few kilometers away that ended the civil war and left him sole ruler of Rome. Under Hadrian, the city retained enough civic prestige to strike its own bronze coinage, a privilege that reflected the emperor's broader policy of cultivating Greek cities as cultural partners rather than mere subjects. Hadrian visited the Greek world repeatedly, and his philhellenism was deliberate politics as much as personal taste.
