    Description

    Rare bronze coin of Tyr dupondius, King Hadrian, 2nd century BC
    Dupondium (Latin dupondius) is an ancient Roman coin.  The name comes from the Latin term dupondius - double denomination, double weight.
    ADRIAN Publius Elius (lat. Hadrianus) (01/24/76 - 07/10/138), Roman emperor from 08/11/117
    He came from Italica (Southern Spain), like his relative Trajan, who was his guardian and in 100 married him to his great-niece Sabina.  Adrian took part in the Dacian and Parthian wars of Trajan, in 108 he was consul and governor in Pannonia and Syria1.  Thanks to the influence of Plotina, before the death of Trajan, he was adopted and declared heir.
