MONTBLANC PATRON OF ART LIMITED EDITION 76 "HOMAGE TO HADRIAN" / 2019
ORIGINAL
MADE IN GERMANY
Hadrian was one of history’s most powerful and respected rulers. As one of the ‘five good emperors’ he reigned during an epoch viewed by chroniclers as the happiest of the ancient period. Starting in 117 A.D., Hadrian ruled for 21 years over an empire spanning three continents. Hadrian ended his predecessors’ expansion politics, stabilized the provinces and became a great emperor of peace and prosperity. His legacy was immense, since Hadrian invested in infrastructure and the arts in all parts of his enormous realm. It wasn’t only Rome and Athens that had him to thank for new buildings and comprehensive restorations, but many other cities of his empire as well.

Perhaps Hadrian's most striking architectural legacy is the Pantheon in Rome. This round temple originally erected by Emperor Agrippa received its permanent shape, iconic even today, because of Hadrian. Especially spectacular is the unreinforced dome reaching over 43 meters in diameter, with a central opening drawing the eye to the heavens. Hadrian filled the inside with statues and covered the walls with colored marble. The imposing columns of the portico, each carved from a single block of stone, were specially procured from a quarry in Upper Egypt. The winding circular decoration of the cone and cap ring of the edition represents Janus, the Roman god of all beginnings and endings, while the shape of the Au 750 solid white gold (18K) cap top and cone recalls with its gradations the dome of the Roman Pantheon. In place of the round oculus of the dome, the Montblanc emblem in mother-of-pearl decorates the centre of the cap top.
