The Golden Age of the Roman Empire – one of the harem beauties of the Adopted Son Dynasty from the numismatic view
Vibia Sabina Vibia. Sabina
88-137 AD
Hadrian's wife, Sabina
Life:
She was the woman behind the Brave Emperor Hadrian, the granddaughter of Trajan's sister Marciana. She married Hadrian as a teenager at the age of 12. It is conceivable that this was mostly the designated marriage of the adoptive father Trajanus and the adoptive mother P lotina. The trend of such royal political marriages is always confusing. Although the two had a 36-year marriage, the long marriage was full of discord. The two have been in pain and slowly moving forward like snails to continue the marriage.
Hadrian often complained that his wife Sabina was nagging like a resentful woman and spending a lot of time fiddling with hairstyles. Sabina didn't say much about it, but soon it was discovered that the favorite of this thick-skinned, bearded, brave man was a young male slave known as Antinous!
It is conceivable that Queen Sabina was suffering from a man who intervened in the royal marriage...
In 137 AD, Sabina died after nearly a year of illness, leaving her and Hadrian without heirs.
Sabina's contribution to the humanities was to leave behind a large number of ancient Roman hairstyles and hairstyles for future generations of hairdressers to refer to.
Numismatic aspects:
Sabina's coins were the most accessible queen coins of the early Roman Empire to collectors, and they were not expensive.
The change in Sabina's name on the coin is also relatively simple.
DIVA AVG SABINA (before becoming Augusta)
DIVA AVGVSTA SABINA (single name after becoming Augusta)
SABINA AVGVSTA HADRIANI AVG (juxtaming names of Augusta and Augustus)
Sabina mostly gives the impression of the motifs on the coins. High hair crown, coiled bun. A dignified and graceful look. How can a strong man not be good at this mouth...
