Hadrianotherae was a small Mysian city founded by Hadrian himself around 123 AD as a monument to a successful boar hunt — an origin story unusual enough to embed hunting imagery deep into the city's civic identity for generations. The magistrate name preserved in the legend, Moschianus, appears across several Severan-era bronzes from this mint, suggesting either a long tenure or a name recycled by successive officials.
Provincial output from Hadrianotherae is sparse overall, making attribution of individual dies a live area of research in RPC supplementary volumes.
