Description

Hadrian was a great traveler, who visited the far reaches of his empire from Spain, to Greece, to Egypt. After his travels ended, he built a magnificent villa outside Rome whose exotic architecture reminded him of those far-off lands. This lovely coin in its golden ring also evokes distant places: the vanished splendors of the Classical world. To wear it is to embark on a voyage of the imagination. - (FJ.1782)
