Obverse: HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS – laureate head of Hadrian right. Reverse: COS III – Pietas seated left, right hand drawing her veil; left hand resting in her lap. Trajan’s successor, Hadrian was the Empire’s great “travelling emperor,” favoring consolidation over conquest. He strengthened frontiers such as Hadrian’s Wall in Britain and sponsored major building projects in Rome (the Pantheon, Villa Adriana). His otherwise steady reign was shaken by the Bar Kokhba Revolt in Judea.
