Æ29 - Hadrian ΑΙΛΙ Π ΑΡΧ ΑΔΡΙΑΝΩΝ

Hadriani ad Olympum was a city Hadrian effectively created in his own honor during his extensive tours of the eastern provinces — one of at least a dozen settlements refounded or renamed for the emperor across Asia Minor and Greece. The Conventus of Adramyteum, the judicial district to which it belonged, gave the city administrative standing, but the settlement's identity was entirely Hadrianic from inception. Coins bearing the ΑΔΡΙΑΝΩΝ ethnic are the primary surviving evidence of the city's early civic ambition.
