-- Coin information:
Hadrian, silver denarius. Struck between 117 - 138 AD
Obverse: HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P, bare head right
Reverse: VICTORIA AVG, Victory standing right, drawing out fold of dress and holding branch downwards
Publius Aelius Hadrianus, commonly known as Hadrian was Roman Emperor from AD 117 to 138. In addition to being emperor, Hadrian is also a notable Stoic and Epicurean philosopher. Hadrian was the third of the so-called Five Good Emperors.
Hadrian was born from a well-established family which had originated in Picenum in Italy and had subsequently settled in Italica, Hispania Baetica, near the present-day location of Seville, Spain. His predecessor Trajan was a maternal cousin of Hadrian's father. Trajan never officially designated a successor, but, according to his wife, Pompeia Plotina, Trajan named Hadrian emperor immediately before his death. Trajan's wife was well-disposed towards Hadrian, and Hadrian may well have owed his succession to her.
However, there is evidence that he accomplished his succession on his own governing and leadership merits while Trajan was still alive. For example, between the years AD 100–108 Trajan gave several public examples of his personal favour towards Hadrian, such as betrothing him to his grandniece, Vibia Sabina. The young Hadrian was Trajan's only direct male family/marriage/bloodline. The support of Plotina and of L. Licinius Sura (died in AD 108) were nonetheless extremely important for Hadrian, already in this early epoch.
