My favorite Hadrian Imperials:

My only two from the Travel Series (Aegyptos and Roma/Adventus):





Annona (Modius with grain ears & poppy):



My favorite non-Alexandrian Hadrian Provincial, a didrachm from Caesarea in Cappadocia:



My favorite Hadrian Provincials from Alexandria:

Tetradrachm, Osiris Canopus Jar:



Tetradrachm, Mummiform Ptah-Sokar-Osiris:



Tetradrachm, Serapis and Cerberus:



Tetradrachm, Agathodaemon:



Diobol, Isis and Harpokrates (with Horus falcons on chair):



Nomes Obol, Arsinoite Nome, Head of Pharaoh [identified with Amenemhat III, under Greco-Roman name of Pramarres] wearing nemes with uraeus:



Many of these are not only among my favorite Hadrians, but are among my favorite ancient coins of any kind.

 

it became an ':O wow!" coin eh?!

 

Piling on!

 

As soon as I opened the thread I knew right away I had seen that Hadrian coin with SC in wreath ... and taken that pic. Obviously the coin found a great home.

 

Here's one of my favorite Hadrian provincials:

Hadrian, Baris Pisidia (18mm, 3.9gms)

Obv: AYT KAI AΔPIANOC; Laureate bust right
Rev: BAPHNΩN; Emperor on horse to right, spearing coiled serpent below

 

Here's a funky limes denarius.

 

I thoroughly enjoyed seeing all these coins.
Thanks for sharing.
