EGYPT, Alexandria. Hadrianus Tetradrachm 128-29 AD Hands Clasped. Ebay dionysos_numismatik Reference. Emmett 848.13; Dattari 1525; Milne 1274 Extra. In Republican and Imperial Rome, the paludamentum was a cloak or cape fastened at one shoulder, worn by military commanders (e.g. the legionary Legatus) and rather less often by their troops. As supreme commander of the whole Roman army, Roman emperors were often portrayed wearing it in their statues (e.g. the Prima Porta Augustus) and on their coinage. After the reign of Augustus, the paludamentum was restricted to the Emperor.[citation needed] Children would also wear it sometimes, when there was bad weather and they needed protection. The paludamentum was generally crimson, scarlet, or purple in colour,[1] or sometimes white.[2] It was fastened at the shoulder with a clasp, called a fibula, whose form and size varied through time. Putting on the paludamentum was a ceremonial act on setting out for war.[3] bron. http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paludamentum Obv.

okidoki, you had better be working on a book (or at least a webpage) on hadrian coins. if not, you should be. i look forward to reading it. i agree with TIF, cool provincials. ....and all the rest.
Another beautiful set of coins, Oki. Pretty soon there will be no more coins of Hadrian on the market.
