Please PM me your address and this Hadrian will be traveling to your place:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1023350[/ATTACH]</p><p>HADRIAN</p><p>117-138 AD. AR Denarius (17mm, 2.89gm). Struck 134-138 AD. Head right / Egypt reclining against basket left, holding sistrum, ibis at feet. RIC II 297; RSC 99. </p><p>Ex-Savoca</p><p>This coin commemorates Hadrian&#039;s visit to Egypt in 130-131 AD. It was while Hadrian was on tour in Egypt that his favorite, Antinoüs, &quot;mysteriously&quot; drowned in the Nile. So great was the emperor&#039;s grief that he commanded a series of religious rituals to be performed in the young man&#039;s honor, and, on the site where the body was recovered, Hadrian ordered the construction of a city called Antinöopolis in honor of the young man.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
