<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 2917690, member: 8959&quot;]Among Hadrian&#039;s coinage a type which I particularly like is that showing a galley on the reverse. This type commemorates the emperor&#039;s travels across the empire, specifically the successful return from his 2nd. voyage which he undertook 128-131 AD.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverses tend to vary, showing differences in the construction of the galley, the number of oarsmen (5 or 6), and direction of travel (left or right).</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a denarius and 3 asses (or dupondii) which I have added to my collection over the years.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hadrianus, 117-138.
