Summary

Silver Denarius struck during the reign of the Emperor Hadrian in the name of his wife Sabina in the period 128 to 137 AD, Ancient Roman Empire. Minted by Rome. The dating of the production of the coins for Sabina is unclear. There are two forms of obverse legend of which that on this coin (SABINA AVGVSTA HADRIANI AVG P P) is probably the second this may place it in the period 132 to 137 AD. Sabina received the title of Augusta in 128 AD. Hadrian is thought to have introduced a new obverse legend ending P P in about 132 and this may have been the occasion for a change in Sabina's obverse legend.
