(When in Rome...)
Here's a recent Hadrian/Pegasus middle bronze buy:


And here are a couple Hadrians from Antioch:

And @lordmarcovan please check my math, but, I think this gets us caught up with images of everyone on the list up to Hadrian (...even if a few are a bit out of order).

I'll give you my first born for that coin. She's a great cook, you'll like her.

 

Sorry for any perceived skulldugery. Since no one had posted this and had moved on (outside of the OPs guidelines) I borrowed this pick from wild winds...
I mean, if I owned one of these it would be a deal and all but...

 

Ah, that Shiftless-Ne'er-Do-Well strikes again! A wily radical of a person!

Regardless, I will interject with my "Dog's Breakfast" of:

HADRIAN:


RI Hadrian, AD 117-138 Æ Limes Denarius 18mm 3.5mm after AD 125 Genius stndg sacrificing altar cornucopia RIC II 173

I would never call your Hadrian a "dog's breakfast"! Dogs eat way better than that

Sorry for not participating in this or posting very much on CT in general, but Life has been much busier for me this past half-year. Of course, I’m still around enjoying all the threads.

 

Dear @lordmarcovan - establisher and benefactor of this almost viral thread. We are at another big juncture here in the history of the empire between Hadrian and A.Pius. I know far less than most of you about the history behind these coins. I was thinking that it would be cool as a part of the game for every coin or personage represented the poster adds one or more unique anecdotes about the person or back history, the story of the individual. then we also have a running thread of a deeper history and relevance. just an idea.......?

My Hadrian:

i was just watching a doc on that very thing yesterday

 

Marciana, the sister of Trajan and grandmother of Sabina, after whom Marcianopolis is named:

 

Sabina:

 

Antinous (Tessera)

 

Don't worry, Julia. We have the ENTIRE ANTONINE DYNASTY to do before we get to your hubby.

 

Here's a Matidia from my collection.

Obverse: MATIDIA AVG DIVAE MARCIANAE F ; Matidia facing r with her hair arranged in an elaborate style atop her head.

The reverse features Matidia as Pietas standing front between two children holding her hands above them as they reach up to her. PIETAS AVGVSTI
