| Additional information |
Hadrian's third consulship, held perpetually from 119 AD onward as an honorific rather than an active magistracy, provided the dating anchor for a substantial coinage program tied to his early travels through the provinces. The Concordia and Spes types from this period are generally read as ideological messaging around imperial stability and dynastic expectation — Hadrian had only recently consolidated his position after the disputed executions of four senior senators at his accession.
RIC II.3 #716 represents the extensive revision of Hadrian's coinage undertaken by the updated second edition, which significantly reshuffled earlier RIC II attributions for this reign.
