| Aanvullende informatie |
The regnal date ΕΤ Δ — year four of Hadrian's reign — places this drachm squarely in the period immediately following his contested accession, when Trajan's death in August 117 AD had triggered a sharp political crisis, including the controversial execution of four senior consular senators. Caesarea's Cappadocian mint was one of very few provincial operations producing silver at this moment, filling a regional need that Rome's own coinage did not adequately address at the eastern frontier.
