[QUOTE="Whizb4ng, post: 1794295, member: 54140"]Hadrian is my favourite emperor. If I didn't enjoy every bit of Ancient history so much I would probably exclusively collect Hadrian coins. I haven't seen many Antinous coins but the one I did see was this gorgeous Alexandrian tetradrachm of him. As for myself I only have a couple Hadrian coins and both are lower quality examples but I really like them because they have an awesome portrait of Hadrian on them. If you are interested in reading about Hadrian I just finished Anthony Everitt's 'Hadrian and the Triump of Rome' which I really enjoyed and would highly recommend. I am also told 'Hadrian: The Restless Emperor' by Anthony Birley is an excellent read but have not had the chance to pick it up.
