that's a really good start and Hadrian is a pretty fine choice.

If I may, I would suggest you to take new pictures of your own.

Hi Eric, I'm actually old collector, but not collected from Hadrian.

Basically medieval coins collectors, but there are some antique coins among the favorites,
especially Probus and other antoninianus .. and brooches .. :) ;)

Title: Re: Hadrian Collector
Post by: ancientdave on January 08, 2015, 02:32:57 pm: That's a very nice and rare coin! It's interesting for the fact that the portrait is radiate, quite odd on such a small coin that clearly is not a dupondius. It's also interesting that the reverse omits SC. My theory on this coin is that it is actually a token, given away to be exchanged for a measure of grain, based on the reverse type. I find it quite intriguing the way this coin breaks the rules, and that we cannot say for sure what was it's exact purpose. Great find!

RIC only notes standing left.

That's just a slip of the pen, of course.

Cohen and BMC have it correct: "Pietas standing right".

The variant created by RIC's mistake, that is "Pietas standing left", does not exist.

Yours is an attractive specimen!

Agree that Hadrian is one of the nicer to collect. That general time-frame in Roman history produced some of the most life. I'm not there yet, but leaning towards Postumus(a bit more affordable;)

The best spot from researching just so happens to be on the front lawn of the Supreme Court! There was once a big fair there apparently at the beginning of the city ('Bytown' at the time), and a large brawl occured....therefore potential coins were lost. Well that's not an option as you might guess.

Note.
The worship of Hadrian as 'Zeus Olympios' in the east of the empire was also practiced in Miletus. A proof of this is this coinage, which the emperor explicitly names as 'ΟΛΙΜΠΙΟC'. In addition, the archaeological excavations in Miletus have been used to discover a large number of household altars who had been consecrated to Hadrian, who had inscriptions such as "The Caesar Trajan Hadrian Sebastos Zeus Olympios" (Friesen, Imperial Cults, p. 177)

Reference.

Note.
From the Group CEM Collection, Classical Numismatic Group 90, 23 May 2012, 1058 and ex Waddell II, 12 September 1987, 363.

The epithet 'Olympios' was adopted by Hadrian in 128/9 following the dedication of the temple of Zeus Olympios in Athens. It emphasized the emperor's Panhellenic program and enthusiastic Philhellenism, for Zeus Olympios, chief god of the Greek peoples, was the Panhellenic god before all others. RPC suggests that the impressive Laodicean medallions bearing the new epithet were struck on the occasion of Hadrian's visit to the city in June 129.

Post by: okidoki on December 07, 2018, 04:13:29 pm: Hadrian Petra

https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-151613

Note.
The Decapolis ("Ten Cities"; Greek: deka, ten; polis, city) was a group of ten cities on the eastern frontier of the Roman Empire in Jordan, Israel and Syria. The ten cities were not an official league or political unit, but they were grouped together because of their language, culture, location, and political status, with each possessing a certain degree of autonomy and self-rule. The Decapolis cities were centers of Greek and Roman culture in a region that was otherwise Semitic (Nabatean, Aramean, and Jewish). With the exception of Damascus, Hippos and Scythopolis, the "Region of the Decapolis" was located in modern-day Jordan.

Petra (GreekΠέτρα, Petra, meaning "stone";

Post by: Robert_Brenchley on December 07, 2018, 04:29:49 pm: I think there was more connection between the cities than that. It may not have been there originally, but in Flavian times, and possibly earlier under Augustus, they were administered by a prefect as a sub-province of Syria on a similar basis to Judea.

Post by: JBF on November 25, 2019, 03:42:38 pm: A little off-topic, but every time I see this post come up on new topics, I get a kick out of it, because my initial reading of it is "hadron collider," which of course is something very different.

Some day when I get a camera, I will have to add my Hadrian to the list. Hadrian of course, is the end of the expansion of the Roman Empire or you might say Trajan is the end with the addition of Dacia.

Kind Regards,
JBF

Oki,

Are my eyes deceiving me, or does the obverse inscription have a retrograde R in place of the S in HADRIANVS? Maybe a die break or corrected inscription? Looks unusual in either case.

Unfortunately, the exact dating of this highly interesting military diploma is uncertain, as Hadrian's TR P is only recorded fragmentarily, and he only held three consulships in his career, the last of which was in 119. However, it is clear from the remaining text that the diploma was awarded to the soldier Malchio ..., who served in the ala Gemina Sebastenorum. This ala was stationed in Syria in the late 80s and early 90s, but inscriptions attest her presence in Mauretania Caesariensis, where she is last attested in 255-258 (CIL 8, 21000). With the emergence of our diploma, her redeployment from Syria to Africa can now be dated to no later than the reign of Hadrian.

Furthermore, the diploma also records the name of one of two Roman suffect consuls (the name of the second has broken off), namely C. Velius Rufus. This is a familiar name, for a certain C. Velius Salvi filius Rufus was a highly decorated officer whose career we know from an inscription on the base of a statue found in Heliopolis. Serving as a centurion in the Jewish War, C. Velius Rufus rose through the ranks quickly under the Flavians, becoming primus pilus of the Legio XII Fulminata in 82, commanding 9 vexillations in the Chattan War in 83, receiving several decorations for his campaigns across the Danube and in Dacia against Germans and Sarmatians and serving in two subsequent procuratorships in the early 90s. However, it seems unlikely that this C. Velius Rufus was still active in politics, or even alive, early in Hadrian's reign, and thus the suffect consul from our military diploma must be a descendant, likely his son.

As for the name of the soldier, it is worth noting that Malchio is a semitic name, but that the name of his son Titus is clearly Roman. It seems likely that Malchio named his son in honor of the emperor Titus, the conqueror of Jerusalem. Last but not least, the third name, Memmedabus, appears to be a variant of Emmedabous or `Immeh-de-`abû (-ha) (literally: 'mother of his father'), a name attested in Palmyra, Dura and Central Syria, both in Greek and in Aramaic. Although it is occasionally encountered as a male name, in the case of our diploma, Memmedabus was clearly Malchio's wife and Titus' mother. We can deduce from this that she was in all probability of Syrian origin, whereas Malchio himself may have also been Syrian, or perhaps Punic. Thus, the diploma is a beautiful testimony to the multiethnicity of the Roman army, which served as a melting pot for soldiers and their families from various cultural backgrounds, eventually merging them as citizens of Rome.

I wanted to let you know through this way that I will be selling my Hadrian collection.
In all those 10 years I have learned a lot and made interesting contacts online and in real life.
Unfortunately I didn't manage to complete this collection, I went too wide. With this great hobby coming to an end, I would like to thank you all very much for the many educational moments, here at https://www.forumancientcoins.com/

Post by: FlaviusDomitianus on June 17, 2023, 05:06:35 am: Hi Erik,

I am sorry to hear that your important collection will be dispersed.

I remember writing here many years ago that I, too, thought Hadrian would be a good alternative to the Flavians, but that I considered his coinage simply too vast to address with any pretense of completeness.

For my part I continue to grow my collection with undiminished passion.

Best wishes

Alberto

Post by: Curtis JJ on July 21, 2023, 03:00:13 pm: I really enjoyed taking a close look through this collection as it was going to auction. Especially seeing how many of the coins contributed to the numismatic literature, either while in the ETB collection (to RPC & RIC, among other publications) or in past collections (e.g., Dattari, about a half dozen illustrated in the 1901 photographic plates, and at least 96 in the 2007 Dattari-Savio rubbings).

I hope that the galleries remain here for reference. (Even better, it would be nice if Leu or someone also produces a print or PDF catalog!)

I was glad to get a couple of Alexandrian coins from the sale. For reference, I've just added an ETB Collection entry to the "Provenance Glossary" on my collection site (I'd be glad to know of any corrections/suggestions from anyone): LINK (https://conservatoricoins.com/provenance-coins/#private-collections) (alphabetically under "Brink").

As I've said, I think of a collection (at least a serious one) as a piece of literature in its own right, with the same properties as any other artistic/scientific project. I enjoy seeing how coins move from one collection and publication into another over the generations, and this collection was particularly rich in such material. So, while it's bittersweet to see a major collection dispersed, I'll be watching to see what tributaries its contents flow into, and how they contribute, moving forward.
