[QUOTE="Julius Germanicus, post: 2969385, member: 80783"]Update: After some interesting correspondence with the experts I can now identify my new Hadrian: This is actually RIC 703k. The reverse is FELICITATI AVG on top, S C left and right of the boat , COS III P P below; in the cabin on the left side of the boat there is the emperor as steersman, sitting right and lifting his right hand greeting, in the center there are seven rowers, and on the bow to the right there is a small sail on a tilted mast. My coin is apparently the third known specimen of it´s kind (all seemingly from the same pair of dies): The first has been in the collection of the Bibliotheque National in Paris since at least the 18th Century. It is cited by Cohen (Nr.689), RIC (703k), and BMC (Footnote p.451, 1392). The second coin surfaced in the 1931 Ratto Sale ("Roma Imperiale nelle Monete di Adriano et di sua famiglia") and is illustrated in Cayon ("Sestercios del Imperio Romano", Nr. 689). Here is the Paris coin: [ATTACH=full]728258[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]728259[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
