with a few minor changes suggested by experience or kindly criti-
cism. Notes on the rarity of coins and headings to pages have been
added : captions to the plates, which were decided upon too lace
for this volume, will be given in those that follow. A short select
bibliography also finds a place.

VESPASIAN
1. We are indebted for this suggestion to Dr. G F. Hill, Keeper of the Coins
aoJ ~kd.15 at the British Museum. •
2. The absence of coins of Domitian from the " star" issue confirms the guess
as to its character.
4 VESPASlAN
The types of the reign are very numerous and varied and can
only be dealt with in outline. The mint of Rome is taken first, after
that such types of other mints as have not already been dealt with
under Rome.
Romt. A!. AC Apart from types of general significance we can
distinguish three main classes :
J) Direct historical references, - to the conquest of Judaea
(mourning figure seated under palm), to the return of Vespasian
2nd Titus to Rome(' Nep. Red'), to their triumph (Quadriga and
Victai:· types), to the end of the civil wars (Mars and Pax) to the
csublishment of the Flavian dynasty (types of Titus and Domitian,
as '· principes iuventutis ", etc., Concordia Augusti, etc.). The
temple of Peace is not actually shown, but references to that deity
are particulady common. " lovis Custos" (" loYis" is the old
fonn ot the nominative) probably refers to Vespasian's escape from
the designs of his political enemies. The extension of the pomoe-
rium is ~robably indicated by the yoke of oxen.
The \'ictory crowning Emperor of the years A.D.78-79 cele-
br.atcsthe early victories of Agricola in Britain.
:t"beVictory of the quinarius is a stock type and has no special
rcleren.:e. •
l) "Programme" types, including types of religious meaning.
\"espasian became "Pontifex Maximus", head of Roman religion,
in !l:o\·emberA. D. 7r and, to judge from the wealth of variety of
6 VESPASIAN
the religious types, took his position with due seriousness. To. this
class belong the variogs types giving priestly titles and showin'g
priestly vessels, the temple of Vesta, etc. The key-note of the
government is struck by the selection of such ty_pesas Salus and
Securitas, Pax, Fides Publica '.
The • Aequitas • of the Emperor, while denoting fairness in
general, has particular reference to the distributions of corn. The
repeated references to Ceres and A°'nona at the end of the reigt\
must have a special point, but unfortunately it is lost tor us; it is
most natural to think of a reorganization of the regular com-
distributions. .
3) "Restoration'' types. •
The reform ot the coinage by Nero, with its reducti6n of the
weight of aureus and denari1Js, condemned the mass of earlier
coinages, sooner or later, to the melting-pot. What more natural
than that the government should save some of the time-honoured
types, by reissuing them on new coins and so preserving them from
complete oblivion? The fact that Vespasian was founding a new
dynasty and needed to find a strong basis on which to rest it gave
an extra point to this restoration policy. He could associate himself
in the popular imagination with the glories of the free Republic and
with the dazzling prestige that still clung to the Julio-Claudian
line. •
The centenary of the battle of Actium, which fell in A. D. 70,
may have served as another incentive towards this same policy•.
Among Republican types restored we may note the standing Mars
(COS-VI.), copied, it would seem, from a denarius struck during
the Cimbrian wars (shortly before B. C. 100 ). The star above prow
is borrowed from the Eastern coinage of Mark Antony, the head
of Sol from the Roman coinage of L. Mussidius Longus. Borrow-
ings from Augustus are particularly common -the bull, the cow,
the Victory and quadriga type, the laurel-branches, the capricorn
and globe, the statue on rostral column. The cistophoric type of
Victory with serpents is now transferred to the Roman coinage.
- The famous "Pontif. Maxim." type of Tiberius is carried on with
legend unchanged, but figure of Emperor on the reverse. Dornitian
shows a kneeling figure offering standard, on the model of
Augustus's Parthian, while Titus revives the Venus Victrix type of
the late Republic and Augustus and the famous Roma type of a
denarius of about B. C. I 15. In general, the types of Titus follow
those of his father very ~losely, while D?mitian, as heir apparent
* 2.
I. Or the translation of Mudanus to the stars(?); he died in A. D. 7 5 or 76,
of the coin.
•t~
Th: destruction of the Capitol by fire in December A.D.69 is probably
6e aaia ause of this. The senatorial mint must have perished in the flames, for
--~ then, so far as we can guess, in the temple of Juno Moneta.
8 VESPASIAN
Aes. The chief feature is the popularity of the two revived types
of "Divus Augustus", Eagle and Altar.
(Illyricum '' Poetovio.") The general associations of the mint are
Western rather than Eastern, but there is an original flavour in i~. '
The accusative case is used freely on the rev. and Rome is
described as "Perpetua ,,. or "Resurgens ": The reference of the
types is entirely to the campaign against Italy and the results hoped
from it, and from this we may conclude that the n1int did not
remain open long after Vespasian's triumph.
• Asia Minor Group. The Victory type is accompanied by an
amplifying legend, which connects her with the '' Augustan
Peace". The woman, who is described by the legend "Concordia
Aug.", has certainly the attributes of Cer.:s, and again perhaps we
have a combination of ideas, the blessings of good harvests secured
by the harmonious government provided by Vespasian. The
" Peace of the whole world" is a phrase borrowed from Otho ';
the woman who symbolizes the idea, is towered and may be a city
goddess, Roma,
Antioch. The types here are few, mainly military and dynastic.
The later issues echo types of the Roman mint. An aureus, which
may belong rnther to Alexandria, shows Vespasian as" Restitutor"
of a kneeling cit.y-goddess : Alexandria, the first place in the
Empire to acknowledge Vespasian's rule had a special claim to his
consideration.
Both here and .at Tyre Titus, exceptionally, bears the '' prae-
nomen imperatoris ". The type of Tyre, "IMP,T-CAESAR" on
shield, is a detail detached from thP.type, Victory inscribing shield
on tree.
L)'cia (?). The Pegasus type might be associated with the mytho-
logical history of Lycia, the scene of Bellerophon's exploits. But in
the uncertainty as to the mint, the point must not be stressed.
Comrnagene.The caduceus and crossedcornuacopiae type is native
to the district and had been previously used by Tiberius for a
similar issue. It is a natural symbol of prosperity and good harves1s.
1. Vespasian claimed that Otho, writing just before his death, commended his
cause to him.

and Domitilla 1 • The Aes coinage of Titus is mainly dated COS. VIII,
. i. e. January rst. So onwards. The undated gold and silver coins of
Titus belong chiefly to his first issue.
Types. N. AC
The types borrowed from Vespasian refer· partly to military suc-
cess in Britain and elsewhere (captive and trophy, figure on rostral
column), partly to the corn-supply (Ceres), partly to the coinage
of Augustus (Venus Victrix). Among the first new types of the
reign are the quadriga carrying ears of corn, which is borrowed
from L. Aquillius Florus, moneyer of Augustus, B.C. 17, and the
capricorn and globe, borrowed from Spanish issues of Augustus ;
this may be a purely commemorative type, but a personal reference
to Titus is not excluded 2 • In the third issue a variant of the captive
and trophy type appears - presumably for Agricola's victories in
Britain. The elephant should refer to the dedication of the Coliseum,
with games lasting a hundred days. It was perhaps the eruption of
Vesuvius that prompted the issue of the series of " supplicatio"
wins showing the exhibition of the emblems of the gods on '· pul-
vinaria" in their temples 3 • Thus the thunderbolt on throne is for
Jupiter, the corn-ears on thnme for Ceres 4, the shield on throne
(used by Domitian) tor Minerva; the dolphin and anchor may
represent N<'ptune, the dolphin and tripod Apollo. The wreath on
curule chairs is uncertain s.
Domitian's most characteristic types refer to Minerva and to his
position as heir apparent (" Princeps Iuventutis "). The goat •in a
wreath is the Cretan goat which fed the young Jupiter who is here
used as a type of the future Emperor 6 • Divus Vrspasian is honoured
by the triumphal c1r (cp. Divus Claudius), by the laurel-branches
(cp. Augustus) and by capricorns supporting globe (cp. Divus
Augustus); these types no doubt represent actual external honours
voted, on rhe analogy of those voted to his predecessors.
Domitilla, who is generally and with reason taken to be the for-
mer wife of Vespasian and mother of Titus and Domitian, is
honoured with the title of" Diva" and the peacock of Juno on the
rev., also with a " Pietas" type of the domestic kind. Julia, d:iught-
Perh1ps the fin: of Rome had something to do with this.
1.
2. May the capricom have possibly been Titus's own natal sign ?
3. We think at once of the lire of Rome : but if thai: fire disturbed the workino-
"
of the mint it must have been too late for these types. .
the
4. This rev sometimes seems to show flowers instead of corn-ears ; but
detail is not certain.

TYPES 115
er of Titus, is represented in the character of Venus Victrix; the
Vesta type reminds us that ladies of the Imperial house often receiv-
ed the honours of Vestal Virgins.
Aes. Apart from a number of more or less ordinary types, such
as Annona, Felicitas, Pax, Roma, Spes, Titus celebrates his third
'congiarium' with a type showing the distribution to the people; a·
" Pietas August." type shows us Titus and Domitian clasping the
right hands of fellowship, under the guardianship of Pietas, and a
"Provident. August." shows us Vespasian handing over the globe,
- symbolical of world-rule - to his son and successor. A similar
idea is conveyed by the type with s.c., Roma handing to Titus on
horseback the palladium - the symbol of the ~•Eternal city". The
C.1pitolagain appears and the Coliseum is added to tht.! list of
Roman buildings on coins; the type gives an· excellent bird's eye
view of the great rotunda, with tier on tier of seats, - on the left
the "Meta sudans ", on the right the Golden House. Vespasian is
honoured with memorial types in the tradition of Augustus, - the
quadriga of dephants and the radiate statu~ holding branch and
sceptre. The absence of the title " Divae " 011 the St.!stertiusof
Domitilla seems hardly reason enough for distinguishing her from
the lady celebrated on the gold and silver; that this lady too was
already dead is proved by the word " Memoriae ". Even if we assume
- what is not quite certain-that a "Diva''could never be refer-
red to without that title, the sestertius might still have been struck
as a first act of commemoration, preliminary to the formal " Con-
secration". The rest of the coins demand no special notice.

DOMITIAN
DATES
Altar of Peace (A. D. 86) appears to have beeri built oa the model
of the Augustan Altar, to celebrate the victorious campaigns in
• Britain and Germany, just before the troubles in Dacia assumed
serious proportions. The altar dedicatedin A. D. 84 to the" Satety
of the Emperor" appears to celebrate the safe return of Domitian
from his campaigns against the Chatti in A. D. 83. Both altars are
of the same type as the altar of the rev. of Divus Augustus Pater,
- showing an outside wall with a doorin it, through which access
to the altar proper is secured. Moneta appearshere for the first time
on imperial " Aes " - with her cornucopiae and scales ; she is
certainly a goddess of the Mint and her appearance may indicate
that Domitian housed the senatorial mint under the same roof as
the imperial'. The types of the quadrantes refer mainly to the cults
·of Minerva, Apollo and. Ceres and to the games 2 •
The foreign wars of the reign are liberally illustrated on the
sestertii, - the large flans lending themselves. admirably to sub-
jects of this class. A cc Germania Capta " modelled on one of the
Jewish war types, shows male and female German captives, beside a
trophy, with arms in the field (A. D.85 on). An equally direct refe-
rence is convey~d by the Victory inscribing shield " DE GER.."
(A.D.85 on). .
Mote general in reference - but still devoted mainly to the
German wars are t~e types showing Domitian riding down a foe-
man, Domitian standing 1. in armour, with river-god (Rhine)
couched before him, Domitian standing I, in armour while a cap-
ti ve kneels before him, triumphal Arch(A.D.85 on). The sestenius
with "Iovi Victori" honour, Jupiter in the specialcharacter of giver
of victory. -
Direct reference to the campaigns of Agricola is lacking; but
the return of the great general to Rome is certainly commemo,-
rated by- the type that shows Domitian and a general clasp-
ing hands over an altar (A.D. 85 on). As the type, h(?wever,
continues in use for two years, we must admit a wider reference as·
well. The Dacian war, which ran so dubious a course, is hardly
touched on, unless it be in the Victory types, of general import,
of the later years ot the reign.
The carpentum, assigned to the honour of Julia after her death .
and consecration, appears on the coins of A. D. 90-92 ; this supplies
an approxim_atedate for her gold and silver, which was struck in
her lifetime. The consecration type of Titus belongs to the very
beginning of the reign, the coins _of Domitia also to the early
period.
1. The Capitol, and with it probably the senatorial mint, had suffered seriously
in the great fire of A.D.80. .
2. Cp. the rhinoceros types.
TYPES 153
The. Secular Games of A. D. 88 are illustrated by an exception-
ally interesting series, which we are able to interpret fairly fully
thanks to the inscriptions published in Ephemeris Epigraphica,
VIII(esp.. pp. 3 ro ff.). The first two types show us the two prelimi-
n:iries - die distribution of purifying elements to the people by
the quindecimviri (SUF(fimenta) P(opulo) D(edit)) and the accep-
tanceof grain ( wheat,-oats and beans) from them (FRUG. (es) AC(ce-
pit)). The other types show the sacrificeof an ox to Jupiter and of
a blacksheep and goat to. the Moerae (first day and first night), the
prayer of the matrons to Juno dictated to them by the Emperor at
the sacrifice of the second day; the sacrificeof cakes to rhe Ilithyiae
(second night) : the procession and song of children in honour of
Apollo and Diana (third day) and the sacrifice of a black sow to
Terra Mater (third night). •
The buildings represented in the background show a- variety of
forms.· In many casesit is probably a view of the temple of Jupiter
Capitolinus that is shown ; for it was by his temple that the sacri-
ficesby day took place and also that the " suffimenta " were dis-
tributed 1 • The night sacrifices took place in the wooden theatre by
the Tiber, near the point where it is narrowest.
1. Also at a temple on the Palatine; the reception of grain took place at the
same points ;nd also at the temple of Diana on the Aventine.

TRAJAN
Min/age.
The coins of Trajan are abundant in all metals and denomina-
tions and, with only a few possible exceptions, appear to belong
entirely to the Roman mint. In view of the incessant military ope-
rations in outlying pans of the empire, comequent on Trajan's
policy of territorial expansion, this is perhaps contrary to what
might have been expected. There is, however, no evidence for the
existence of an imperial mint in any city that might have served as
a base for the Dacian or Parthian campaigns or even at Lugdunum.
Trajan appears to have found the output of the metropolitan mint,
supplemented no doubt by the mints of Caesarea and Antioch,
sufficient tor the payment of his troops.
Possibly a few coins wer_estruck in Armenia, but such examples
as might be assigned to this district suggest a small and irregular issue.
Certain small denominations of orichalcum were e,·idently
intended for circulation in the Eastern provinces and in all proba-_
bility were issued at some provincial mint (see Nos. 644, 650, 659,
660, 684, 70 3, 7 I0 ).

CHRONOLOGICAL
ARRANGEMENT OF OBVERSE LEGENDS
OBVERSE TYPES.
Monetary art under Trajan falls somewhat below the level of the
Flavian period. Perhaps this may be accounted for in some measure
by the fact that Trajan himselt had but little taste for art or litera- •
ture; although it must be admitted that, as regards the latter, his
reign was by no means without its men of letters. From the time
of Trajan onwards, however, the coins gradually show signs of
losing caste as works of art and lapse prosaically into mere media
of exchange. The portraiture generally is flat and unimaginative,
and practically no attempt is made to indicate theadvancing age of the
Emperor during the twenty years of the reign. The overcrowding
ot the obverse legend tends to detract from the beauty of the coins.
In one particular, however, an artistic development may be
noted. This is in the treatment of the bust showing shoulders and
breast, usually bare, with the head in profile. To distinguish this
newer style from the already existing draped or cuiras5ed bust in
profile it is described in the corpus by the term "Bust".
THE REVERSE TYPES.
Trajan's reverse types are mainly of a general character. The cus-
tom of adopting some personification, such as Fortuna, Abundantia or
238 TRAJAN
Pax as the reverse type was developed more extensively than under
the Flavians. These types refer only indirectly to current events
or ideas and gradually tend to become pure conventions.
Another feature which makes tor dullness and ~lso adds to the
.difficulty of classifying Trajan's coins is the standardising of certain
reverse lgends such as s.p.Q.R-OPTIMO-PRINCIPI or COS.v.
P-P-S-P-0-R-O PTIMO-PRINC - etc.
The types which possess special interest as bearing on events and
developments of the reign may be classified as follows :
(a) Imperial expansionand military emerprises.
(I) The subjugation of the Germani and other Teutonic tribes
in the Rhine district occupied Trajan at the time of his accession;
and it was while stationed at Cologne that he received the news of
Nerva's death. His military successes in this district are recorded
on aurei and denarii of COS- II and 111with the seated figure of
Germania (Nos. 5, 15, 35, 36).
The numerous coins of the Victory type bearing these dates also
refer generally to the military operations on the Rhine.
(2) The conquest of Dacia is the most important military enter~
prise of the reign and is also the event most extensively recorded
on the coinage. The conquest occupied two campaigns, 101-102
and 105-106, and involved enormous expense. While the personal
greatness of Trajan is universally acknowledged by writers from
Pliny onwards, his policy of territorial expansion has called forth
the severest criticism, more particularly from later historians. It is
easy to discover serious flaws in the arrangements made for the
settlement of Dacia and for the demarcation of the Roman limes.
Nevertheless as a piece of campaigning the D.rcian war undoubtedly
ranks high in the military annals of Rome. Unfortunately we are
ignorant of many important details. No contemporary historian
took the trouble to write a history of the war and our information
comes chiefly from Cassius Dio and the reliefs, carved in a long
spiral around the column, aptly described as an " epic in stone",
that still remains in its original position in Trajan's Forum.
The coins bearing allusion to the Dacian Wars art dated
COS. IIII. V. and v1:Those of COS-1111only can be certainly con
nected with the first campaign. The coins of COS. v. and VI. refer
to the second, or to the war generally. The distinctive legends are,
DACICVS, DA-(or DAC) CAP. and DACIA AVGVST-PROVINCIA.
The characteristic types are :

HADRIAN
MINTS
Even a close study of the coins of Hadrian discloses few traces
of multiplicity of mints. Fabric does not vary notably, the lettering
is more or less uniform and the variations in style are such as to
suggest change of artist and lapse of time rather than distinct.
mintage. It is to the one mint of Rome, then, that we ascribe
the g~eat bulk of Hadrian's coinage. Here and there, however, the
trained eye will pick out a coin that does not fit into the normal
Roman series. These comparatively rare pieces are mostly denarii
and belong to one of two classes assignable a) to Antioch, b) to
Ephesus or some neighbouring town, on comparison with local
issues. It is very remarkable that Hadrian, the great traveller and
enthusiast for the provinces, should have bi:en so chary w_ith his
provincial issues. These rare non-Roman coins are placed in the
general series, but noted as they occur. They are so few and spora-
dic that it has seemed inadvisable, for once, to class them apart
under mints. The "Cistophori ", of course, are almost all of the
province of Asia,.- a few only of the neighbouring province of
Bithynia. Among the mints were certainly Ephesus, Sardis,
Smyrna', - and very probably, many more not quite so clearly
indicated.
CHRONOLOGY
The foundations ot the chronology of Hadrian's coinage were
well and truly laid by Laffranchi in R.It., 1906, pp. 329 ff. We
accept with grar.:ful acknowledgment a large part of his results,
but hope, in two important points, to be mentioned later, to have
advanced nearer the truth.
The issuesof A.D.II7 and II8 are determined by the COS-, COS,
IIin the imperial title. It is with Hadrian's entry on his third consul-
ship in A. D. 1J 9 that our difficulties begin, for he held no further
consulship and omits to date by tribunician years. We have then to
find dates for the vast mass of coinage that bears no definite indi-
cation of chronology beyond COS, Ill. One other form of evidence
is fortunately available. Hadrian certainly accepted the title of
,. Cf. Nos. 474 ff. for Ephesus, No. 522 for' Sardis, No. 52,1 for Smyrna.
CHRONOLOGY
" Pater Patriae" early in A. D. 128 : all his issues with that title,
then, are subsequent to that date, with the one exception of the
first issues ot his reign, when the title was attributed to him
without authority. We can now review the" COS, Ill" coinage in
its main classes :
(a) with P,M,TR,P.COS Ill (or variants)on rev. or obv.
(b) with HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS on obv., .COS-Ill on rev.
(c) with » • . n cos.111 p.p.onrev.
(d) with HADRIANVS AVG.C0S,fll-P-P.onobv.
(e) with HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS P,P. on obv., COS.HI on
rev.
Groups(a) and (b) must fall between A.D.119 and early 128:
groups le)( d) ( e) after that date. Group (a) is at once seen to be the
earliest : its portraits and its legends are both linked directly to the
coinage of A.O. II8. 'It runs down to A.D. 121 (for we have one
solitary dated coin of that yt'ar) but not much later : for the por-
traits of the dated coin are very near in development to the latest
portraits in the group. The latest types appear to be '' Virt. Aug. "
and " Exped. Aug. " : there is no reference to the course of
Hadrian's travels. There is every reason to think that in his absence
(A.D.121-late 125)the mint was almost entirely inactive. The
gold and silver of this group can be dated roughly within it by the
development of the imperial portrait. The Aes can be divided into
three groups :
(r) with PONT. MAX-TR,POT .cos.111 on rev., the direct SLC- .
cessor of the coinage of A.D. II8 (A.D. 119) .
. (2) with P-M-TR-P-COS-111 on obverse. This group shows
portraits intermediate between (a) and (c) (A .D. I 19-r2r).
(3) with P. M. TR. P. COS. Ill on reverse, showing later portraits
and legends (A.D. 12I-J22 ?). •
Class (b) follows upon Hadrian's return to Rome late in A. D.
125 ; the connexion of the change of title and portrait with this
e\·ent is obvious. The earliest reverse types link up with class a) -
" Virr. Aug." and " Exped. Aug." ; - the latest are probably
those of the 'globe ' series. A study ot the sequence of portraits
will suffice to place any coin in its approximate place in this period
from late A.O. 125 to early A.D. 128. .
Th~ three remaining classes are, we have seen, later than the
beginning of A.D. 128. Class (d) is obviously late. Ifwe arrange
its portraits in sequence, we find at one end portraits with reverses
of the Provinces and Armies," Adventus Aug. " « Fortuna Redux ",
at the other portraits and types that force us to think of Aelius
Caesar and Antoninus Pius. The class must clearly run from A. D.
HADRIAN

2) SABINA AVGVSTA HADRIAN! AVG-P-P.
and two main styles of head-dress, one (a) distinguished by a build-
ing up of the hair at the back, the other (b) by a plait at the back.
Legeud I is freely found on gold and silver, very rarely on Aes. Head-
dresses (a) and (b) both occu1with legend (2),. (a) only very rarely
with legend (1). Since bead-dress (a) is like that of Marciana and
Matidia one might be tempted to place it first in order of time; and
this would imply that legend (2) precedes legend (,).But head-dress
(a) may recur later, and head-dress (b) is not unlike that ofPlotina.
On the whole, then, we cannot regard the evidence of head-dress
as decisive. We must look for other evidence. The style of the main
SABINA AVGVSTA series is, without question, very close to
that of Hadrian's HADRIANVS AVG.COS-111 P-P. issues. The
legend SABINA AVGVSTA HADRIAN! AVG-P-P. must be later
than early A. D. 1 ::.8. It is conceivable that it was struck A. D r 32-
134, but it is unlikely that the issues of Sabina began in her absence
from Rome. We ha\·e suggested above that the HADRIANVS
AVGVSTVS P-P. series may be posthumous. If we can accept that
suggestion we may be tempted to make the SABINA AVGVSTA
HADRIAN! AVG.P P. series posthumous too. The consecration
of Sabina, then, would have be attributed not to Hadrian himself,
but to Antoninus Pius ; we know from an inscription that Sabina
was already consecrated early in A. D. 139, before Hadrian ; but
there is still room in the latter part of A. D. I 38 for her consecration
by Antoninus Pius. The further possibility opens up that the coin
of Hadrian with obv. HADRIANVS AVG-COS-111.P-P. and rev.
DIVIS PARENTIBVS., busts of Trajan and Plotina, each with a
srar above, may belong t0 the same date. These results are at first
sight surprising : but when we reflect that there are no " Diva "
coins of Plotina, struck by Hadrian, and that, according to our
tradition, his relations with Sabina were not cordial, we may find
it easier to refer the consecration ot Sabina toAntoninus Pius, who,
TYPES
by adoption, became her son, and would hasten to make good the
arrears of honour. •
The dating of the coins of Aelius is simple. They are all of his
second consulship, A. D. 137. The absence of coins of A. D. 136 is
proof that his adoption took place near the close of that year. Anto-
n in us Pius was adopted by Hadrian on February 25th. A .D. I 38.
His earliest coins, on whi.:h he bears the title IMP. T. AEL(IVS)
CAl:S(AR) ANTONINVS fall between that date and the death of
Hadrian on July 10th.; only on the latter date did he receive the
title of '' Augustus ". It is clear that the issue of coins in his
name began very i.oon after his adoption. .
The '' Cistophori" are ditficult to date with certainty. We can-
not be sure that they follow the Roman mint and, even if they do,
they will share in its uncertainties. The title P. P. occurs on the
obverse of all the coins of Bithynia and on most of those of Asia.
Groups 2 and 3 of Asia, which omit it, shouldbe earlier than A.D.
128 - perhaps contemporary with Hadrian's first \·isit to the pro-
vince, A. D. 124. Group 4 of Asia should run parallel to the lfoman
series with the same obverse legend, HADRIANVS AVG.COS-111
P.P., c. A.D. 134-138. Groups 5 and 6 of Asia, HADRIANVS
AVGVSTVS p.p. and AVGVSTVS HADRIANVS P,P. should
belong to the same period as the HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS P.P.
ot Rome, whether we date it to A.D.128-132 or to A.D. 138-139
after Hadrian's death. The coins of Bithynia and group r of Asia,
with obv. IMP-CAES.TRA-HADRIANO AVG.p.p., have no
counterpart in Rome. We may assign them tentatively to Hadrian's
second visit, A. D. I 30. The one " dstophorus " of Sabina with
obv. SABINA AVGVSTA HADRIAN! AVG.P-P., has a reverse
common to Hadrian's groups I and 5 of Asia and might therefore
be dated with either of them. •
· TYPES'
Now that we have found a satisfactory method of dating
Hadrian's coins, we can approach with better courage the arduous
task of interpreting his reverse types. We will take them group by
group, leaving till the end a few special classes and a few general
considerations that cover the whole reign.
A.D.u7. - During the whole of this yearHadrian was absent
in the East. His mint-master, no doubt confined to a few general
instructions, seems to feel his way with hesitation. The first titles
t. It has seemed inaddsable to attempt to give historical references here. For
these, see B• W. Henderson, Life a11dPrin~ipate of tbe Emperor Hadri1111and
literature quoted by him, pp. 297 f., particularly the pioneer work of J. Diirr, Die
Reisen des Kaisers Hadrian.
TYPES 321
round the Empire, appeals to the aid of the great gods of the state.
Jupiler is the lord ot the world, who gives it into Hadrian's care.
Janus is the god of beginnings - hence rightly invoked at the
outset. Neptune and the other water gods are called on to protect
the imperial traveller by sea. Mars and Minerva represent the war-
like element, but Minerva, on a beautiful aureus, appears in her
" peace-giving" aspect, with a tree by which is a rabbit feeding.
Hercules is the great adventurer, traveller, and friend of man, who
went rn the world's end to capture the oxen of Geryones and to
fetch the golden apples from tbt gardtn of the Hesperides - tbt
two labours appear to be blrnded in these types. The temple
shown is that ot Hercules at Gades and the nymphs who stand on
his either band on an aureus are probably two of the Hesptrides.
The honour giYen to Roma is a reminder that Hadri~n, in his care
for the Empire, will not forget the capital. It has perhaps a con-
nexion with the event commemorated on the remarkable dated
coin (ANN-DCCCLXXIII! NAT.YRB-P-CIR-CON.), - the circus
shows by which Hadrian celebrated the" Parilia ", nov; cxp1essly
named what it bad always ranked as, the" birthday of Rome" '.
The personifications in many cases express the ideals of the
new reign, already sketched in A.D. I 17-r 18. " Aequiras ",
" Clementia ","Concordia", " Fdicitas" "lustitia ", "Pax., 2 ,
" Providentia ", '' Pudicitia "," Salus" - all have a propagandist
touch. For one or two some more special occasion may have exist-
ed, e. g. " Clementia " suggests mercy towards political offenders,
" Pudicitia " biameless personal character in a religious sense,
" Libenas Publica " and the three types that name the Roman
people, "Felicitas P.R."·' Genius P.R." '' Hilaritas P.R. ", sug-
gest Hadrian's desire to rank as a constitutional and democratic
Emperor. " Hilaritas" probably refers to public entertainments -
perhaps those gi"en by Hadrian on his birthday in A. D. I 19.
'' Aeternitas" and " Pietas" refer from different points of view to
the divine honours granted by Hadrian to his mother-in-law, Mati-
dia. Of the " Vota" reverses one, '' Vota Publica ", seems to be
carried on from A. D. I 18; the other " Vota suscepta pro reditu ",
expresses the public anxiety for Hadrian's safety wben be left Rome
in A. D. 12 I. The tvpe that sho-ws Hadrian dressed as a soldier
holding spear and rudder on globe, aptly typifies the Emperor
(Rector Orbis), who made the" government" of the Empire his
personal concern. The ship - a reverse which we shall meet cons·
tantly in this reign - reminds the public of the Emperor's
voyages. •
r. Probably the temple of Roma and Venus was dedicated on this occasion.
2. Pax sometimes appears here with the Victory, i.e. definitely as "Pax Vic-
trix ,.. '
322 HADRIAN
The Aes partly confirms the testimony of the gold and silver,
part! y enriches it with a wealth of new allusion. For A. D. 1 19
we have references to Jupiter and Roma, both represented as Vic-
tory-bearers, to Concordia and Felicitas, to Annona, and to the
"Liberalitas of Augustus" - the last represented by a scene show-
ing the distribution of money. " Securitas" probably looks back to
the suppression of the military conspiracy, even as " Fortuna
Redux" does to the return of Hadrian to Rome. Victory may
refer to a success in Britain. Certainly the' Britannia' type oftlis
year directs our attention to the island and suggests that the con-
ception of the wall was formed at this moment on the restoration
of order in the North, whether or no its execution only began
later. What exact " resto1 ation of Liberty •· is celebrated by the
sestenius, showing a \\Oman with two children standing in front
of Hadrian, is rather uncertain. ls there a reference to l-Jadrian's
refusal to accept bequests from men who left sons behind them ?
The liberty will then be the freedom to mal:e a will, unfettered by fear
of the E1~1peror. Or to Hadrian's decision that the children· of a
Roman citizen by a slave mother should be free ? A second series
of Aes, with a long obverse title and descriptive legends on the
reverse, carries us from bte in A. D. I r 9 into A. D. I 2 r. A number
of refer(::ncesecho some already familiar to us- '' Annona Augusri ",
" L1t:ertas Publica ", " Pieras Augusti "," Salus Augus1i "," Yic-
toria A igusti " on the sestertius, - " Aeternitas A ugusti ", "Feli-
citas Augusti ", " Fortunae Reduci " on the Dupondius. " Con-
cordi 1 Exeicituum" is new - perhaps some measures had to be
taken to quiet the armies after the execution of the rebel marshals.
" Providentia Deorum " marks out Hadriari as the god-given ruler:
the eagle, the bird of Jupiter, is seen bringing down the sceptre,
the emblem of sovereignty, to him. "Mon era ·Augusti" undoubted-
ly refers to reforms in the mint - possibly in the organization
and distribution of the work. A third " liberality " is commemo-
rated, this time with the distinguished number Ill.
Finally three types, "Locupletatori orbis terrarum ", '' Restitu-
tori orbis terrarum " and " Reliqua Yetera Hs. novies mill. abo-
lita ", do justice to Hadri:m's measures for the relief of the ·distress-
ed, notably to the cancelling of arrears of debts due to the fiscus,
to the extent of 900 million Sesterces - about £9,000,000. The
most ge11eral of· these types is that which shows Hadrian as a
" restorer " of the world - a harbinge r of the great serits of" res-
titution " types that was to follow. The type, where Hadrian, des-
cribed as "enricher of the world", is represented presidingover a
distribution, bears more closely on financial restoration. Tbe last
type with its direct referen'-e to remission of debts shows us the
actual burning of the bonds by a lictor in the Forum of Trajan,
TYPES

sometimes in the presence of onlookers. It was a fine stroke of wis-.
dom and policv and deserved the CO!llmemoration that was given
it. In A.D. 121, probably early, the shorter obverse legend was
resumed, the remainder of the title being returned to the reverse.
Some new types now appear,· - Ceres, MinerYa sacrificing, Spes,
Vinus, Hadrian galloping. I. " Spes ", perhaps, raises the question
of the succession. The Emperor was going on his traYels and
there was curiosity as to his intentions. For the time, we· know,
Hadrian refused to commit himself. " \'irtus" is appropriate for an
Emperor, about to travel "militiae ", as wielder of the supreme
military power. The type, Hadrian on horseback, is clearly explain-
ed by the legenJ" Exped(itio) Aug( usti); Hadrian's travels, though
mainly undertaken in the interests of peace, are bound to wear a
military form and to be described under military names. To these
years belongs a series of quadrantes, with divine emblems, -
thunderbolt, owl and helmet, eagle - or simple objects such as
table of rhe games or a ship's beak as reverses. Interesting in its
relation to simiLir coins of Trajan is the quad rans with Hercules
in lion-skin on obverse and wolf on reverse.
\Vith Hadrian's departure from Rome closes the first period of
his coinage. In the years of his absi;nce, I 2 I - late I 2 5, there is
no development of style, no variation of reverse. There is a stagna-
tion, perhaps a complete cessation, of coinage. The fine series of
c,)ins with the new portrait and new legend (HADRIANVS AVG-VS-
TVS) can only be attributed to the time of Hadrian's return late in
A. D. 12 s. This series links up directly with types certainly struck
in A .D. r2r. •
It was only natural that the return of the E111perorfrom his long
voyage shoul<l be celebrated by a great outburst of coinage with a
fine new portrait and new types. The new portrait is on a largtr
scale than the earlier and often almost more than fills the field : it
is finely modelled and expressive. The obverse legend is shortened
to HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS; the P-M-TR-P. of the title is
dropped, the COS -111. is restricted to the reYerse. The gold
coinage is now practically detached from the silver and receives a
series of 1everses of its own. The date of the issue can be determin-
ed with sonie a~curacy. It commences late in A. D. I 2 5 or early in
A.D. 126 on Hadrian's return to Rome. It does not last beyond
the date, early in A. D. 128, wher1 Hadrian accepted the title of
'' Pater patriae ., . On the gold we ha Ye two mounttd types of
Hadrian, one an "Adventus" typt::, Hadrian riding r. on a pacing
horse, raising his r. hand in acknowledgment of his weicome, -
a rnernorial of his entry into Rome : the other, which shows
Hadrian on horseback with a spear,· is a record of his activity
abroad. That it is not a "Profectio ", as might at first appear, becomes
324 HADRIAN
clear from the fact that it is exactly contemporary with the " Ad-
ventus ". Sol in his quadriga reminds Rome of the East from which
the Emperor has just returned. The she-wolf and twins, the
'foundation' type of Roma, is probably meant to refer to the temple
which Hadrian had set out to build to Ro1ra and Venus. On the
gold quinarius we see Hadrian welcomed home by Roma, Salus,
Spes, and Victory.' Spes' may again suggest the question of the suc-
cession: it may be noted that L. Venis was already in high favour. '
On the sih-er we find prominence given to Diana•, Hercules, Mars,
Minerva, Neptune and Roma, to Concordia, Hilaritas, Libertas,
Pudicitia, Salus, Spes, Victory and Virtus. Again as in the previous
period Hadrian places himself and bis Empire under the spc:cial
prott:ction of chosen divinities i, and defines the character of his
government l-,y his choice of personifications. 'Hilaritas' may refer,
now as before, to public merrymaking.' Pudicitia' is probably to be
assoc!ated with the two types, showing the cm blems of priesthood:
Hadri:111is celebrated as a man whose spotless character qualifies
him for the service of the gods. Victory is reasonably claimed as
an attendant of the reign, even though it is chiefly won through
peace. And with Victory naturally goes Virtus too. But here, as
with the trophy of the gold, there may be a reference to successes
in Britain. The figure who stands or sits 1. holding a cornucopiae
and a pruning-hook, with a modius by or under her feet, is Abun-
dantia or possibly a representation ot Tellus, ' Tellus Stabilita ', as
a later coin of Hadrian describes her. Here too belongs the type,
modi us and ears of corn. \Ve have a clear evidence of Hadrian's
endeavours to restore :igriculture over the Empire. The star and
crescent and seven stars and crescent are natural symbols of immor-
tality in an age which sought immortality in the stars. It is proba-
bly the memory of Trajan that is here honoured. The seven stars
of the second type may be purely co1wtntional - a representation
of the •' SeptE'ntriones ", the seven stars of the Grear Bear. It is
perhaps too fanciful to interpret theD'i as the chief lights in the
imperial heaven - Divus Julius, Augustus, Claudius, Vespa~ian,
Titus, Nerva, Trajan 4. The capricorn of rhe silver quinarius inevi-
tably reminds us of Augustus, who introduced this, his natal ~ign,
on his coinage. Whetheror no the capricon; was the sign of Hadrian,
we may see here a deliberate appeal to the memory of the founder
of the Empire. Perhaps the choice of the one name, ' Augustus ',
1. Another explanation would make the figure not " Spes Aug_usta", but "Spes
P.R. ", and see in it a reference to the rising gent·ration and the Emperor's
care for it.
2. We remamber Hadrian's passion for hunting.
3. JuDikr i, only represe·1ted by his eagle on the reverse.

TYPES 325
to accompany his own name on the reverse may be due to a wish
of Hadrian to have himself closely associated with his great pre-
decessor. On a part of this issue in silver a globe is placed under
the type of the reverse. The symbol of the world on Hadrian's
coin SU!-;geststhat his activities are world-wide. At the same rime it
seems to bind the types on which it occurs imo a special issue, and
this we may reasonably assume to be the issue in honour of
Hadrian's 'vota soluta decennalia ', in A.D. 127 or early 128. To
this '' globe " issue belong the types, Abundantia (?) seated I.,
Pudicitia seared 1., Roma seated r., Victory seated l., star and cres-
cent '. The burden of the "A.es ., coinage is of a .~imilar character.
Diana, Janus, Minerva, Neptune, Roma are all honoured, Janus no
doubr as the God who ends well what has been well begun, Neptune,
by name as '' Neptunus Redux ", who has brought the Emperor
home. Among the personifications are Aequitas, Annona, Fides,
Fortuna R.edux, Salus, Virtus. The type of Virtus, together with
that of Hadr(an galloping (EX PED. AVG-. ), is immediately connect-
ed with the issue of 121-122, and celebrates the successful conclu-
sion of Hadrian's journeys. A fourth liberality is commemorated
by a distribution scene. The occasion of the harangue of Hadrian
to his citizens in front of a temple has not yet been determined.
The types ' Romulo conditori' and ' Roma, Hadrian and Sena-
tor ' are probably al·ways later in date than this class, even when
they bear, exceptionally, the obverse legend, HADRIANVSAVGVS-
TVS. On the smaller denominations the reverse is often given up
to the symbols of divinities - the pegasus, griffin and lyre of
Apollo, the club of Hercules, the goat Amaltheia of the infant Jupi-
ter. Picmres9ue and interesting is the type of Antioch and Orontes,
borrowed, for what exact reason we do not know, from the local
city coinage.
\,Vith Hadrian's departure to Africa and then, after the briefest
return to Rome, to the East, the coinage is again interrupted. But
this time it does not remain in aberan~e until his rerurn in A. D.
I 14, but is resumed some two yeirs earlier. The reason for this
may fairly be seen partly in the Jewish War of A. D. 131-1 J:/. part-
ly in the" Vota solutaXV" of Hadrian which fell in A.D.132
or r 33. The rebellion of Bar-Codi ba in Judaea, though serious
enough in itself, was at once taken in hand and not allowed to
spread. It is therefore not so surprising that Hadrian, whose person-
al tastes were not warlike, does not write it large on his coinage.
The reverse of the gold that shows Hadrian holding spear st:mding
beside standards and that of the gold and Acs that shows the" Ex-
peditio " t)"pe, Hadrian on pr;ncing horse, with spear in rest,
dearly point to this war. The former of these types was appropriat-
ed in the 3rd century to the" princeps iuventutis" ; here it has a
general military significance. The • Roma' type of the Aes bdongs
to the same context. Apart from these few types the great bulk of
this issue bears the character of a definite closed group, with a
clear object in view - the praise of the merits of the government
of Hadrian.
The occasion was- proeably the celebration of the " Vora XV "
of Hadrian. The government is characterized by means of a ·numb-
er of personifications, - Clementi a, Felicitas, Indulgentia, Justitia,
Liberalitas, Pietas, Securitas Publica, Tranquillitas. With these we
may a~sociate the 'Roma Felix' of the silver. " Fortuna Redux" bas
esp~cial reference to Hadrian's absence abroad. The reign is charac-
terized by general happiness, freedom from anxiety, peace of mind,
insured by an Emperor, who is generous and religious, just and
ready to grant favours and dispo~ed to mercy. The types of Cle-
mentia, lndulgentia and Justitia are new to Roman coins and the
figures representing them are only weakly marked out by at,ribu-
tes. Clementia and Justitia both hold patera and sceptre, Indulgen-
tia extends her r. hand in a gesture of friendlimss. In the long
series of coins, mainly Acs, where the legend" FELICITATI AVG"
is accompanied by the type of a galley rowing or sailing, \Ye have
to look for a further meaning The suggestion seems to be that
1 •
dius from As, except by weight and colour. The radiate crown of
the Sun-god is always considered appropriate to the deitied Empe-
ror. Perhaps that was the reason why Hadrian chose to relinquish
it now. It is noteworthy, that he, unlike Trajan, had no passion
for the cult of the "divi ". Plorina, who died in his reign, was
not formally consecrated and the consecration of Sabina herself was
perhaps due to Antoninus Pius.
The last issue of Hadrian, characterized by the obverse legend
HADRIANVS AVG,CQS,111P.P., begins with his return to Rome
in A.D.134 and only ends with his death in A.D.138. It txhi-
bits a great wealth of types in ,111metals which can only be undt'rstood,
if grouped in periods. We have first the period before the adoption
of Aelius (May I 34-Summer 136), mainly filled with the
magnificent series of types of provinces, armies, " arrivals " and
" restorations", the detailed discussion of which we reserve till
later. Then comes the period of the Caesarship of Aelius (Summer
I 36-end 137), and finally the closing months of the reign, the
chief event of which was the adoption of Antoninus Pius. In the
first period, apart from the province and army types, we find the
arrival of Hadrian celebrated on the gold by a figure of the Empe-
ror riding into Rome, on the Aes by a scene in which Roma wel-
comes Hadrian back. " Fortuna Redux '' and " Vota Publica" bear
directly on the same event. " Disciplina Aug. " celebrates the mili-
tary reforms of the Emperor and " Tellus Stabilita" sums up the
results of his beneficient activities in the Empire. An " Adlocutio"
type may refer to an harangue of the· praetorian guard. The refe-
rence of" Felicitas •• is general ; " Moneta " implies some change
or reform in the working of the mint. The final subjection of the
Jewish revolt in A. D. r 35 leads to a '' Pax '' type and several vic-
tories, - the most interesting one the Nemesis- Pax-Victoria of
Claudius and Vespasian, implying the respect for justice in the
hour of triumph. " Securitas" may bear on the same event. The
adoption of-Aelius is represented by "Fortuna Spes ", '' Fortuna '·,
"Spes" and perhaps also by the " Divis Parentibus" of Hadrian
showing Trajan and Plotina. Hadrian, adopting Aelius, not unnatu-
rally looks back to his own adoption.'' Fortuna" denotes the fruition
of Empire, " Spes " the expectation of it. The completion of the
temple of Rome and Venus in A.D. 137 receives a full record, with
the reverses " Roma Aeterna ", " Romulo Conditori ", "Veneris
Felicis ", and " S. C. " Temple. To about the same period belong
the" Iovi Victori •·,the" Gen. P.R.," and-the "lustitia "of the
gold, the " Aequitas ", " Aeternitas "," Annona ", " Felicitas ••
" Fides ", " Marti ", " Pietas •• of the sih'er, the "Aequitas •·,
"Annona ", " Clemencia,., " Concordia ", " Felicitas "group,
"Fides ", " Iustitia ", " Roma" and" Salus" of the Aes.ln some

1or : it is the one direct reference in coinage to the adoption of
Antoninus. Another type represents Hadrian as the general; "Ro-
mulo Conditori "points to him as a refounder of Rome. The'' Salus"
of the quinarius suggests that, after the torments of his last illness,
he is at last safe. The most notable types of the Aes apart from the
" Adoption" group already discussed, are " Fort. Red. " " Hilari-
tas P.R." and " Iovi Optimo Maximo S.P.Q.R. "in wreath.
"Fortuna Redux" has brought the "_sailor home from the sea and
the hunter home from the hill ". " Hilaritas P.R. " seems at first
sight inappropriate indeed, but, if we arc right in seeing in this type
an allusion to public entertainments, we can refer. to the circus
games givrn in honour of the birthday of Antoninus on September
19 tb. The dedication to'· Jupiter Oprimus Maximus" will repre-
sent a decree in honour of the dead Emperor.
In this series the radiate crown, rejected by Hadrian after A. D.
128, is restored to the " dupondius ". We remember that this
crown carries with it some suggestions of divinity. We saw ab~ve
that Hadrian himself was possibly not interested in the cult of
"divi ". It is at least possible that the party in the senate, who oppos-
ed his consecration, claimed to be showing regard for the dead
Emperor's own wishes; The author of" Animula vagula blandula "
was not flattered by the prospect of shining in the firmament of the
sacred dead.
The " Liberalitates " or Largesses of the Emperor form one of
the main features of the reign and are important both in themselves
and for chronolvgy. A short conspectus will make their arrange-
ment clear : · •

Again a new portrait. The features are fine and serious, the set
of the head full of dignity. The truncation of the bust is lower
than in the last class, but not so low as in the earliest portraits (Pl.
XV, 314). The bare head is now commoner than the laureate,
busts to the l. not uncommon, the draped bust not so rare as
before.
A rare portrait in a style of exct;ptional beauty and distinction is
rarely found. It shows a bare_head, with aegis on l. shoulder, the
hair very carefully rendered in very high relief. There is a close
affinity to some coins of L. Aelius Caesar(Pl. XIII 25 5).

C. 15I1 gives the strange combination oi obv. and rev., probably in error.
There remain, howe,·er, one or two in gold and rather more in silver, which are
