| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued in the early years of Hadrian's reign, this denarius belongs to a remarkable propaganda campaign the emperor launched after a deeply troubled accession. The execution of four senior senators in 117 AD — carried out, Hadrian claimed, without his knowledge — poisoned relations with the Senate from the start. The Hilaritas type, invoking public joy and good cheer, was part of a broader coinage program designed to rehabilitate his image and project an atmosphere of civic contentment his reign had not yet earned.
