| Additional information |
Hadrian assumed the title COS III in 119 AD and held it through the mid-120s, placing this issue squarely within his early consolidation of power following Trajan's death — a succession that was itself contested, with accusations that Trajan's adoption of Hadrian had been fabricated by the empress Plotina. The PMTRP dating narrows production to 121–123, years Hadrian spent largely outside Rome on the first of his extensive provincial tours.
RIC II.3 #542 reflects the 2007 revised corpus, which substantially reorganized Hadrianic denarii that earlier references had grouped imprecisely.
