<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4290069, member: 19463&quot;]BMCRE III page 124 lists as * an aureus of Hadrian as Caesar with legend HADRIANO TRAIANO CAESARI.&nbsp; They comment that the BM has a replica of the coin &quot;which makes an excellent impression&quot; but the continued existence of the coin is doubtful.&nbsp; Such things get stolen and melted if, in fact, it was actually an ancient item.&nbsp; We have to realize that there were thousands of ancient coins that did not survive to modern times even as one example.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My personal earliest Hadrian is this Pietas denarius with reverse legend including PARTHIC <b>DIVI TRAIAN AVG F</b> PM TRP COS PP and with dative HADRIANO on the obverse.&nbsp; It even has the OPT(imo) title carried over from Trajan.&nbsp; RIC 86 </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1092041[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
