kapphnwn Posted June 27, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted June 27, 2022 Hadrian Ar Denarius 119-122 AD Obv Bust right laureate draped and cuirassed Rv Roma standing left holding Victory . RIC 76 RICII/3 598 3.40 grms 20 mm Photo by W. Hansen The first obverse portraits of Hadrian a very reminiscent to the way the emperor is depicted employed by his predecessor Trajan, however by 119 AD the imagery had begun tp change. One thing that can be clearly seen is that the head becomes larger and a great deal of care is taken to depict the facial features of the emperor. Moreover the hair and the beard is given a great deal of attention. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
