<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Salaethus, post: 8158631, member: 109856&quot;]Do you think that the anepigraphic types with Hadrian stomping on a crocodile also belong to the travel series? This was discussed in an earlier thread here: <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/anepigraphic-hadrian-warning-possible-crocodile-abuse-shown.325249/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/anepigraphic-hadrian-warning-possible-crocodile-abuse-shown.325249/">Link</a></p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s pointed out that Egypt holds a special place in Hadrian&#039;s travel series and this type seems to clearly signal Egypt with its crocodile motif. The style and legends further suggest its placement within this series.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yet questions remain: Why the anepigraphic reverse? Do these coins belong to Hadrian&#039;s travel series? Is the reverse a depiction of &quot;Hadrian-Horus&quot;, and why should we attribute it so?</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s my example:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1423782[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Hadrian Æ sestertius. Rome, 134-138 AD. HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P, Laureate and draped bust of Hadrian right. / Hadrian bare-headed and in military dress standing right, holding spear and parazonium and resting foot on crocodile, S-C in fields. 27.23g, 34mm. RIC II 782, C. 1384</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
