Good specimen, strongly struck, very well centered, and with prominent reliefs. Small edge knocks, which do not detract from its appeal. Rare, especially in this condition.
In the middle of his reign, in 125 AD, Hadrian's coinage underwent a complete redesign. His initial militaristic portrait style, which depicted his upper bust in armor, draped, or "heroically nude," was replaced by a larger, more refined head.
The obverse legend, which in the style of Trajan had included all his names and titles, was simplified to HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS. The reverses and their legends were also simplified, with many showing only the title COS III ("Thrice Consul") or being entirely anepigraphic, with the consular title added to the obverse.
This aureus, featuring a remarkably serene portrait, perfectly embodies Hadrian's Augustan vision: the style is thoroughly Hellenistic, idealistic, and strongly reminiscent of the coins of the original Augustus.
The reverse, depicting Hadrian on horseback departing on one of his many journeys, proved highly influential and was imitated by many later rulers. Almost XF. Est...10000,00.

Empress Aelia Flacilla is honored as Saint Aelia Flacilla by the Orthodox Church, primarily for her devout and unwavering adherence to the Nicene Creed during a period when heretical doctrines, especially Arianism, were widespread throughout the Empire. Sozomen, in his Ecclesiastical History, recounts a significant episode in which Flacilla intervened to prevent an audience between Emperor Theodosius I and Eunomius of Cyzicus, a prominent leader of the radical Arian sect known as the Anomeans. The Arians denied that Christ was "begotten, not made, of the same substance as the Father," that is, consubstantial with Him, and considered Him a creature. The Anomeans took this position even further, maintaining that Christ did not share the same nature as the Father.
Empress Flacilla was wary of the influence Eunomius might exert over the emperor and his fidelity to orthodoxy. According to Sozomen, “Eunomius’s fame reached the emperor, who was reportedly willing to dialogue with him; however, Empress Flacilla carefully avoided any meeting between them, fearing that Eunomius, thanks to his rhetorical skill, might sway the emperor’s convictions” (Sozomen, Book VII, Chapter 6). In light of subsequent events, Flacilla’s intervention proved effective, as Eunomius ultimately opposed the confession of faith promulgated by Theodosius and became one of the dissident leaders who were eventually exiled
