<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2371840, member: 19463&quot;]When we go to Wikipedia on the hunt for information, look for &#039;disambigulation&#039; pages like this one on Tellus</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tellus" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tellus" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tellus</a></p><p><br /></p><p>In this case the tip off is STABIL which suggests that the Earth is requested to stabilize those pesky earthquakes and be a good Mother.&nbsp; I suspect someone could research records and find out just what seismic event led to the issue of this coin but I do not know it.&nbsp; This is a favorite Hadrian type of mine because it was not issued by everyone (as were Victory, Fortuna and the usual group).&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]485102[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I also like the Restitutor Galliae type for the same reason.&nbsp; Hadrian is famous for his travel series but he also has a set of places that he &#039;restored&#039;.&nbsp; Mine is an as in honor of work he did in Africa.&nbsp; Again, I assume research I have not done might turn up what building projects he ordered in the province that justified the coin issue. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]485103[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
