Hadrian An overview of a popular ruler

Among the most popular choices for collectors who select a single Emperor as a speciality is Hadrian.

I will show a few samples of his coins that might be considered representative of the thousands not shown. Relating to the Middle Empire (Adoptive Emperors) [Rome] [Coin Collecting]
