Hadrian. AD 117-138. Æ Sestertius (33mm, 26.78 g, 5h). Rome mint. Struck circa AD 124-125. Laureate bust right, slight drapery / Diana Venatrix ('Huntress') standing right, holding arrow and bow. RIC II.3 738; Banti 177. Green-brown patina, smoothed and tooled, scratches. Good VF.

Since Hadrian demonstrated his bravery by hunting rather than warfare, he favored the cult of the goddess Diana.
