Hadrian, Denarius, Largesse Scene   
 
 117-138 AD, Denarius, Largesse Scene, Rome, c. 119-24 AD, 
3.09g. RIC-129, C-909 (1 Fr., a misprint for 10 Fr.), BM-
293. Rx: LIBERAL AVG III P M TR P [COS III] Hadrian seated 
l. on camp stool on platform, extending hand to citizen who 
stands on ground before him and holds out toga to receive 
largesse. Rare: only 12 specimens in Reka Devnia hoard. We 
do not know the occasion of Hadrian's third largesse: both 
the coin type itself and Hadrian's movements during these 
years are difficult to date. VF
