The aim of this article is to examine the circumstances of Hadrian’s assumption of power after the death of Trajan. Wojciech Wierzbicki has analysed the numismatic material of the emperor Hadrian dating mainly from the first years of his reign. These contents, the issue of the imperial mint, clearly indicate the desire and need to legitimate the power of the new princeps. Wierzbicki also presents the background to the political events of the period as well as the most important figures involved in sharing power, both supporters and opponents of the emperor.

Tekst opiera się na analizie materiału numizmatycznego pochodzącego przede wszystkim z pierwszych lat rządów cesarza Hadriana. Treści emitowane przez mennicę cesarską jednoznacznie wskazują na potrzebę usankcjonowania władzy nowego princepsa. W artykule przedstawiono ponadto tło wydarzeń politycznych tego okresu, a także postaci w największym stopniu mające udział we władzy, zarówno zwolenników, jak i oponentów cesarza.

The sculpture depicting the bust of emperor Hadrian owes its present-day appearance to eighteenth-century restoration. The object is composed of 27 fragments, both classical and modern. Only the upper part of the face comes from the bust of H adrian; the rest including parts originating from other classical sculptures, was added. Each part represents a different iconographie type; hence, the numerous redesigns. The shape of the parts was adapted in such a manner so as to render the sculpted form a certain logical form. The elements w ere connected by means of rosin and steel, cast dowels. The whole sculpture was impregnated by means of a resin-wax mass. The object has survived in an unsatisfactory state, with the classical parts representing the worst condition. Their surface, apart from numerous mechanical damage, disclosed a considerable loosening of cohesion between minerals and in certain places a disintegration of the stone (saccharation).
