Hadrian, 11 August 117 - 10 July 138 A.D.
Curtis Clay convincingly argues that Hadrian's "travel" coins naming provinces, including those having him arrive in a province, with "ADVENTVS" legends, restoring a province, with "RESTITVTORI" legends, and those having him address a provincial army, with "EXERCITVS" legends, were actually issued beginning soon after his safe return to Rome from his second journey in 131 A.D. Most references date them after 134 A.D.RB72509. Orichalcum sestertius, BMCRE III 1807, RIC II 950, SRCV II 3632, Cohen II 1249 var.
