Hadrian, 11 August 117 - 10 July 138 A.D., Hierapolis, Phrygia
|Hierapolis|, |Hadrian,| |11| |August| |117| |-| |10| |July| |138| |A.D.,| |Hierapolis,| |Phrygia|, Stack's listing described this coin as "one of the finest extant specimens from this mint." That may be a bit of hyperbole, but it is a very nice coin with excellent provenance.

Hierapolis (Greek: "Holy City") was located on hot springs in Phrygia in southwestern Anatolia. Its ruins are adjacent to modern Pamukkale in Turkey and are designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The hot springs have been used as a spa since the 2nd century B.C., with many patrons retiring or dying there. The large necropolis is filled with sarcophagi.
