Probably an ancient imitation, in my opinion.

The style seems quite different from that of Hadrian's Eastern denarii. Nor does any Eastern denarius of Hadrian from his Asia Minor series have that obverse legend. It only occurs on his earlier, Syrian issue, usually combined with rev. legends beginning PM TR POTES.

I'll have to advise Richard Abdy to change that, since in my opinion those two coins have nothing to do with one another!

Yours is mint of Rome, despite the slightly sloppy lettering, as I said above.

The Manchester piece looks to me like either an ancient imitation or a modern counterfeit.

Thanks for getting the picture from Richard, in any case.

Thank you and you are welcome, i agree on the manchester coin, looks at least as an imitation like my last coin.

But i agree with Richard that my ADVENTVS is eastern
to be continued i hope.

I have here i think an eastern mint Strack *41, this should be the copy Rome mint RIC II 333
i wonder if there is a Rome mint, i could not find it and BMCRE does give only this eastern mint like Strack does.
no Rome mint in BMCRE or Strack, or online

I find that rev. type only on sestertii of Hadrian, beginning before 128 with obv. HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS, and lasting after, with obv. HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS P P.

But we expect Eastern denarii to copy their rev. types from Roman denarii, not Roman bronze coins! This might suggest that the mint of Rome did strike this type on denarii as well as sestertii, and those denarii were copied by the Eastern mint, but they were so rare that they hardly ever turn up today, and they have not yet found their way into the standard catalogues.
