| Additional information |
Hadrian's SALVS AVGVSTI ("Health of the Emperor") coinage from 125–127 AD coincides with a period of intensive travel — he had recently returned from his first major provincial tour through Gaul, Britain, and the Rhine frontier. Whether the emphasis on imperial health was propagandistic routine or a response to genuine concern circulating about the emperor is debated, but Hadrian was known to suffer recurring illness throughout his reign, culminating in the protracted decline that preceded his death in 138.
The COS III dating anchor places this firmly after 119 AD, when Hadrian assumed his third consulship — a title he held without renewal for the rest of his reign.
