Ancient Rome 134AD Rev. Juno S 3921 Sabina Silver Denarius AU-UNC (AU-55)
Sabina Augusta, also known as Vibia Sabina, was the wife of Emperor Hadrian and served as Roman empress from 117 to around 136 AD. She was the grandniece of Emperor Trajan and married Hadrian in a politically strategic union that helped solidify his claim to the throne. Though ancient sources suggest their marriage was distant and possibly strained—Hadrian was known for his close relationship with Antinous—Sabina held a prominent public role. She was widely honored throughout the empire, appearing on coins and inscriptions, and was granted the prestigious title Augusta early in Hadrian’s reign. After her death, she was deified, becoming one of the few Roman empresses to receive divine honors. Despite limited personal details surviving, Sabina remains an important symbol of imperial dignity and continuity in Hadrian’s reign.
Obverse: Draped and diademed bust of Sabina, hair falling in a plait down her neck, facing right, with the legend around.
Reverse: Juno standing facing to the left, holding a patera and a sceptre, with the legend around.
