Denarius - Hadrian COS III, Neptune

正面描述	Bare-headed, laureate and draped bust of Hadrian facing right, rendered with fine sculptural detail characteristic of Hadrianic portraiture, including the emperor's distinctive full beard and curled hair. The effigy exhibits a high level of relief with naturalistic modelling of the facial features and drapery folds at the shoulder. The encircling Latin legend reads HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS, distributed around the periphery of the flan. The flan is of slightly irregular shape, as is typical of hammered Roman silver coinage of this period.

附加信息	Hadrian's third consulship, held from 119 AD and retained as an honorific title thereafter, places this issue within a period of intensive administrative consolidation following his abandonment of Trajan's eastern conquests. The Neptune type almost certainly relates to Hadrian's extensive sea voyages — he crossed the Mediterranean repeatedly during his provincial tours, and the court made deliberate use of maritime imagery to frame those journeys as acts of imperial stewardship rather than mere travel. RIC II.3 #789 reflects the 2007 revision of the original RIC II volume, which substantially reorganized Hadrianic coinage and renumbered many types.
