[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 4690929, member: 44316"][ATTACH=full]1153377[/ATTACH] This coin of Hadrian is like the coin in the original post except this one includes the word "ADOPTIO" in exergue. 19 mm. Struck 117. BMC 7 but no photo. RIC 3e. ex Empire Coins auction 6, lot 374, November 14, 1986. I think this is the only Roman coin type to explicitly mention adoption. A photo of this much [ATTACH=full]1153378[/ATTACH] of the coin is enough to identify it. It is an historically important type from the period of "the adoptive emperors."[/QUOTE]
