| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-shouldered, laureate bust of the Emperor Hadrian facing right, rendered with characteristic Hadrianic realism including a short, neatly cropped beard and finely detailed hair beneath the laurel wreath. The effigy is depicted with a draped left shoulder, consistent with the portraiture conventions of his later reign. The encircling Latin legend runs along the periphery of the flan, interrupted by the portrait. The flan is irregular in shape, as typical of hand-struck Roman silver coinage of the period, and displays a deep, variegated patina with iridescent toning. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Patientia — personified Patience — was an unusual choice for imperial coinage, and its appearance under Hadrian reflects something specific about his self-presentation. Unlike the martial virtues favored by Trajan, Hadrian cultivated an image of philosophical restraint, and this emission belongs to a broader series of virtue types struck around 128–129 that reads almost like a programmatic statement. The series coincided roughly with his return to Rome after years of provincial travel and the assumption of his third consulship.
RIC II.3 963 is not a rare type, but it is less frequently encountered in sharp condition than its mintage might suggest.
