NUMISMATICS: CoinWeek Ancient Coin Series: Travels With Hadrian (Mike Markowitz). Hadrian sure did a lot of traveling, as this coin series illustrates. The section on "Judaea" is of most interest for PaleoJudaica.

Hadrian is known for his role in the Bar Kokbha Revolt and the events leading up to it. Also, past posts on Hadrian's Wall are here and links. There have been museum exhibitions on Hadrian at the British Museum and the Israel Museum. And for various other relevant posts, run "Hadrian" through the PaleoJudaica search engine.
