La viajera biografía del emperador Adria­no se suele agrupar en dos grandes giras. La primera se realizó entre los años 121 y 126 y concernió principalmente a Occidente. La segunda se hizo principalmente por Oriente y afectó fundamentalmente a algunas de las principales ciudades de Asia Menor, Capa­docia, Siria, Judea y Egipto. En medio de su primera gran gira, Adriano, en el año 124, se inició en Eleusis, en las cercanías de Atenas, y en asociación con Hércules. Al principio de la segunda gira, en el año 128 y tras visitar África, el emperador participó en otros ritos mistéricos en Eleusis, vinculándose a partir de entonces a Zeus Olympius en Atenas. En este artículo, se ofrece una nueva lectura de la trayectoria gubernativa de Adriano a tra­vés de algunas de sus más significativas series monetales, imperiales y cívicas. Se defiende que Adriano siguió un doble modelo orga­nizativo a lo largo de su reinado, sucesiva­mente hercúleo y jupiterino. Tal modelo fue conceptualmente macedonio, pero tuvo ecos y paralelos en otros emperadores, poseyendo plena vigencia hasta los tiempos de Diocle­ciano y Maximiano.Abstract: The emperor Hadrian’s travel biography is generally divided into two major phases. The first, mostly in the West, took place be­tween the years 121 and 126, while the sec­ond was centred on the East, in particular in some of the key cities of Asia Minor, Cap­padocia, Syria, Judaea and Egypt. During the first phase, in the year 124, Hadrian was initiated at Eleusis, near Athens, following in the tradition of Hercules. After his vis­it to Africa at the start of the second phase of his travels in 128, he took part in further mystic Eleusinian rites, this time linking him to Zeus Olympius in Athens. Looking at some of his most important coin series, both imperial and civic, this article provides a new interpretation of Hadrian’s career as governor, suggesting that there was a dual­ity to the years of the emperor’s rule, as he first modelled himself on Hercules and then on Jupiter. This was a Macedonian concept, but there are echoes and parallels to be found with other emperors, culminating in Diocletian and Maximian.Palabras clave: Flota, Hércules, iniciación, Júpiter, moneda, montaña, templo, viaje, visita.Key words: Coin, fleet, Hercules, initiation, Iupi­ter, mountain, temple, travel, visit
