Aanvullende informatie

Hadrian's Germanic issues belong to his celebrated "travel series," a coinage program launched after his extensive provincial tours to project an image of imperial unity across the frontiers. The personification on these coins was not commemorating a conquest — Rome had abandoned aggressive Germanic expansion after the catastrophic loss of three legions in the Teutoburg Forest in 9 AD. Hadrian formalized that restraint into policy, consolidating the Rhine-Danube frontier rather than pushing beyond it.

RIC II.3 1522 is among the more frequently encountered of the provincial personification types, produced at Rome during a concentrated run in the early 130s.
