| Additional information |
Hadrian's 136 AD coinage coincides with one of the more turbulent episodes of his later reign — the failed succession of Lucius Ceionius Commodus, adopted as Caesar that year despite his obvious ill health. The FELICITAS AVG legend on issues from this period is best read against that instability: the emperor broadcasting dynastic confidence he had limited reason to feel.
RIC II.3 2251 belongs to the comprehensive 2007 revision of RIC II, which substantially reorganized Hadrianic bronze coinage and reassigned numerous pieces previously miscatalogued under earlier numbering.
