    You know, Mat knows, I know but for the sake of one or two new here should someone say 'Hadrian'.

    Thank you Doug! That bust did not say Hadrian to me. The head was too slim.

    Yeah, I saw Hadrian right away. Angry maybe, but still Hadrian

    My first thought was Hadrian, but I assumed it was an anonymous issue since the ruler was not specified. Thanks for clearing that up!

    Congrats Eric, must be a Hadrianus Divus coin ?, minted 50 years after his death.

    Looks like he had a little quarrel with his wife .
