Aelius, Caesar, July or August 136 - 1 January 138 A.D.
|Aelius|, |Aelius,| |Caesar,| |July| |or| |August| |136| |-| |1| |January| |138| |A.D.|, Salus was the Roman goddess of health. In 136, Aelius was adopted by an aging and ailing Hadrian and made caesar, successor to the throne. This coin, dedicated to Salus, was struck in 137 when both Hadrian and Aelius were in poor health. It is a handsome coin but apparently Salus was not impressed. Aelius was never to become emperor, dying on 1 January 138. Hadrian died soon after on 10 July 138.
