Nice addition, Eric.

I see something on it.

 

yes, some times there is the head of Medusa

 

It looks kinda like a dude standing, facing left?

Just when I think you must have one each of all Hadrian coins minted, you add another. Very nice.

 

That is absolutely gorgeous!!!

 

Salus is kinda hot (is that wrong?)

 

Hey Eric, here's an as I found last week. Seller had it listed as Roma seated, but obviously didn't bother to read the reverse inscription INDVLGENTIA. I'm not sure if it's less common than Roma, but it would seem so. Nice coin anyway, great bust, decent reverse detail...

 

very nice JA,
i like the Obv.
