[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 3641104, member: 97383"]Valiant Knight, You scored a nice looking Tet of Hadrian, with an attractive depiction of Serapis ;). It would be great if you could get a larger photo of the CNG example in your thread. With a larger photo some CT member might do a computer overlay. I'm posting the only example of a Hadrian Tet still in my collection that's been posted before, but should fit well with the many other fine examples in this thread. The reverse depicts an attractive portrait of Zeus & Hadrian's portrait is well done too. Billon Tet, dated Year 10 (AD 125-6), 13.37 gm, 24 mm. Many years after I bought the coin, much to my delight :D, I discovered the coin was illustrated in David Vagi's book [B]COINAGE and HISTORY of the ROMAN EMPIRE, volume two, #1387[/B].
