    I am not into catalog numbers. But it may help if you look for "grain ears in modius" instead of flowerpot.

    if I am reading your obverse inscription right --

    A.D. 134- 138
    HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P
    ANNONA AVG, modius with grain ears and poppies.
    RIC II Rome 798

    Thank you Victor
    Ah, I thought Hadrian bought his wife Sabina a flowerpot for her birthday.

    Here's the other Hadrian from that lot of 20 asses

    That may be, but the next time I'm printing out a tag for one of this type, I'm so putting down "flowerpot" :D.
