Abstract: The epigraphic and numismatic image of Hadrian in Hispania: relationships with the general context of the Empire. Hadrian’s public image has been projected in his time and in subsequent centuries through his intense legal and administrative activity, as well as his travels. His stay in Hispania was preceded by infrastructure works and improvements in the places where his presence was expected, although the journey made by the Prince in the Iberian Peninsula is still the subject of debate. These pages provide an update on this issue, as well as the transformation of Italica, the family homeland, and its reflection on the coins of the final years of his government, when a true “international program” was carried out.
