[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 7431953, member: 85693"]Lovely coins and write-up as always Donna. I have a Hadrian sestertius of the ADVENTVS type - rather poor shape, but attributable, sort of: [ATTACH=full]1290001[/ATTACH] [B]Hadrian Æ Sestertius (133-135 A.D.) Rome Mint[/B] [HADRI]ANVS AVG COS III PP, laureate, draped bust right / ADVEN[TVS AVGVSTI] S-C, Hadrian standing right (on left) holding roll, clasps hands with Roma standing left (on right) holding spear. RIC II.3 2063 (old RIC 742) (22.51 grams / 29 mm) eBay May 2020 Lot @ $5.00 [B]Attribution Note: [/B] Reverse legend can be AVG or AVGVSTI for type, but full ADVENTVS to left makes it likely this is AVGVSTI, based on other examples I saw online: RIC II.3 2063 (old RIC 742) Only somewhat more appetizing is the Africa Restitutori sestertius: [ATTACH=full]1289999[/ATTACH] [B]Hadrian Æ Sestertius (134-138 A.D.) Rome Mint[/B] [HADR]IANVS AVG COS III PP laureate, draped bust right /[RE]STITVTORI AFR[IC]AE SC, Hadrian togate, standing left raising up Africa, kneeling left, corn-ears growing betweet. RIC 941f; Cohen 1226. (21.57 grams / 32 mm) This one is Restitutori Achaiae, and looks a bit better in hand, another sestertius: [ATTACH=full]1290000[/ATTACH] [B]Hadrian Æ Sestertius[/B] [B](134-138 A.D.) Rome Mint[/B] [HADR]IANVS AVG COS III PP laureate, draped bust right / [RESTITVTO]RI ACH[AIAE], Hadrian, togate, standing left, raising up kneeling Achaea; vase with palm between figures.
