Hexassarion - Hadrian ΚΑΙΣΑΡΕΙΑΣ ΓΕΡΜΑΝΙΚΗΣ

Caesarea Germanica, located in Bithynia on the southern coast of the Propontis, was a relatively minor civic mint whose output under Hadrian reflects the emperor's aggressive program of provincial reorganization and city patronage. Hadrian visited Bithynia on at least two of his extended imperial tours, and civic bronze issues from the region spiked noticeably during his reign — almost certainly tied to honorific production surrounding those visits rather than routine monetary need.

RPC III 1026 is attested in very few specimens across public collections.
