| Additional information |
The quinarius denomination had been functionally dead for over a century by the time Hadrian's mint revived it — last struck with any regularity under Augustus, it reappeared sporadically under later emperors almost as an antiquarian gesture rather than a monetary necessity. Hadrian's issues of 120–121 fall early in his principate, shortly after his return to Rome following the accession journeys that defined his first years of rule.
RIC II.3 338 is among a small cluster of quinarii attributed to his reign, a denomination so rarely produced by this period that surviving examples in any grade are genuinely scarce.
