Rare bronze sestertius of the Roman Emperor Hadrian, struck between AD 129 and 130. The obverse features a laureate bust of Hadrian facing left, while the reverse depicts a galley sailing to the right—a symbol of imperial voyages and Rome’s maritime power. This type may reference one of Hadrian’s many travels across the Empire, particularly his visits to Africa or Asia Minor. A great traveler and administrator, Hadrian represents a period of stability and provincial organization within the Roman Empire.
