| Additional information |
The COS III PP titulature dates this issue to after 128 AD, when Hadrian received the title Pater Patriae — an honor he had previously refused twice before finally accepting it. By this point in his reign, Hadrian had already completed his famous tour of the western provinces and was moving through the Greek east, a journey that left a deeper imprint on his coinage program than on almost any other emperor's.
RIC II.3 1056 belongs to the extensively revised second edition of RIC volume II, which substantially reorganized Hadrianic aurei and assigned new reference numbers that do not map cleanly onto the older Mattingly-Sydenham numbering.
