'Although I can't
be certain about the reverse type, this is obviously a sestertius
of Hadrian - 117-138 A.D. The obverse legend of: [HADRIANVS] AVG COS
III PP places it among his later issues since he only held the PP
title post 128 A.D. and this legend is specific to 134-138 A.D. If,
as I think is likely, the reverse is "PAX AVG S - C" it
dates to around 135 A.D. However, there are several other standing
figures holing cornucompaie that it might be - if we could get a few
letters of the reverse legend, I oculd pin it down more specifically'. 20,96g , 28.77mm dia x 4.56mm t |
