ABSTRACT

Emperor Hadrian is known for his passion for travels. However, his action was driven by specific political goals. These goals were related to the need to unify the Roman empire. The emperor was aware that relations between the ancient cities and the colonies founded by his predecessors had to be rebalanced.

Between 134 and 138, the emperor Hadrian and the Senate minted an enormous variety of coins that featured some of the provinces, and occasionally the cities, of the Roman empire. There are essentially three types of monetary issuances representing the provinces during the reign of Hadrian: the Natio (or Provincia) type; the Adventus type; the Restitutor type. Among them, the coins depicting the personification of Judaea constitute a special issuance that needs a more detailed analysis. In particular, the unusual presence of various numbers of children has already attracted several scholars, but the meaning of their presence is still unknown.

This paper aims to study these coins in order to highlight the relationship between Hadrian and Judaea.

摘要

哈德良皇帝以其对旅行的热情而闻名。然而，他的行动是由特定的政治目标驱动的。这些目标与统一罗马帝国的需要有关。皇帝意识到必须重新平衡古代城市与他的前辈建立的殖民地之间的关系。

134 年至 138 年间，哈德良皇帝和元老院铸造了种类繁多的硬币，上面印有罗马帝国的一些省份，偶尔还有城市。在哈德良统治期间，代表各省的货币发行基本上分为三种类型：Natio（或Provincia）类型；Adventus类型；恢复者类型。其中，描绘犹太人格化的硬币构成了需要更详细分析的特殊发行。尤其是数量不等的孩子们的出现，已经吸引了好几位学者，但他们出现的意义，还不得而知。

本文旨在研究这些硬币，以突出哈德良和犹太之间的关系。
