Hadrian Sestertius Roma 128-29 AD Fortuna
« on: January 31, 2020, 08:39:21 am »
This bust is somewhat short compared with the usual busts, so for i know only seen with this reverse type   https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-152730

Reference.
Strack 628; RIC II, 969; C 727; RIC III, 979; Banti 396

Bust C2

Obv. HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS P P
Laureate, draped bust, seen from side

Rev. COS III, FORT RED in exergue. S-C across fields.
Fortuna seated left, holding cornucopiae and rudder.

28.50 gr
34 mm
6h

Note.
Hadrian’s famous “Travel Series” of coins can be stretched to include issues that celebrate the “Fortunate return” (FORTVNA REDVX) from one of his many imperial journeys, as with this sestertius.
