The rich symbolism of the reign is also expressed in prodigious numbers of Hadrian medalists, many of which are covered in RIC for the first time.

Richard Abdy has been a conservative of Roman coins at the British Museum for many years, with a particular interest in the average and subsequent imperial period of the Roman Empire. He has a long experience of recording hordes of Roman coins by working on treasure boxes in England.

Peter Mittag, Professor Für Alte Geschichte at the University of Cologne, has already published a corpus of Hadrian medallions and present for the first time his research in English.
