VERY reminiscent of the Jupiter on the Roman Republican Victoratii! Very nice!

 

what do you gang think is it a forepart of a prow?

Andrew Burnett thinks its not, I think it is looks not roundish like a normal drapery and its clearly not attached

 

I would guess prow.

 

Sweet score, Oki => I love both of the portraits!! (classy lookin' coin)

=> sweet style

 

A wonderful coin OKi !!!

After monitoring this thread for a long time one thing is clear:

"If I was a rich boy, na na na na na na, I'd buy all the Hadrians in the world if I was wealthy boy."

Sorry, I'm listening to Gwen Stefani music at the office and couldn't help myself.

@Okidoki , I am not a big fan of the Imperial period of Roman History... However, I really have fun watching your postings. You have an incredible inventory of neat coins, all focused on the Hadrian period. Fun to watch... I cannot believe the diversity! Thanks for the education.
