Hadrianus Aug. ( 117-138) AR, denarius, 3,08 g; 18,5 mm; 6 h)

HADRIANVS - AVGVSTVS P P Laureate head r.; Rv. COS III Aequitas standing l. holding scales and cornucopia. BM 1035; Cohen 382; RIC 339. Good very fine / very fine.

BMC and Strack divide specimens of this denarius between Rome and Hadrian's Eastern mint, and the present coin is one they would assign to Rome, BM pl. 56.6-7, Strack pl. III, 205. C. Clay, however, believes that all denarii of this type were produced at the Eastern mint, the earliest being in close to Roman style, perhaps because their dies were cut by engravers borrowed from the mint of Rome. P.V. Hill omits this denarius from his Dating and Arrangement, so had apparently reached the same conclusion.
