| Aanvullende informatie |
Epidaurus was the single most important cult center of Asklepios in the ancient world — the god's mythological birthplace and home to the great sanctuary where pilgrims traveled from across the Mediterranean seeking healing. The city's right to issue bronze coinage under Hadrian was almost certainly tied to his active patronage of Greek religious sites; he visited the Peloponnese and is known to have made dedications at major sanctuaries during his tours of the eastern provinces.
The festival name in the coin's title, the Asklepieia, references the quadrennial games held at the sanctuary, ranking among the recognized Panhellenic circuit by the imperial period.
