Æ21 - Hadrian ΑΔΡΙΑΝΩΝ (ΠΡΟϹ ΟΛΥΝΠ)

Hadriani ad Olympum was a city Hadrian effectively created — or at least formally elevated — during his extensive tours of the eastern provinces, a habit that generated a wave of newly renamed or refounded cities eager to mint their own civic coinage as proof of imperial favor. The inclusion of ΠΡΟϹ ΟΛΥΝΠ in the legend situates the city geographically "toward Olympus," distinguishing it from other Hadrian-founded or Hadrian-renamed settlements competing for the same honorific associations with the emperor.

The Conventus of Adramyteum was one of the judicial districts of Roman Asia, and civic bronzes from its smaller constituent communities are among the more thinly documented in the series.
