Hadrian – The great Emperor of the Roman Empire in the past, and also one of the most powerful and respected rulers in history. One of the 'Five Wise Kings', he reigned during an era considered by chroniclers to be the happiest in antiquity.
Montblanc has created the Patron of Art Homage to Hadrian Limited Edition to honor him and his legacy. The pen is elegantly black, the barrel and cap are crafted from Egyptian basalt. The metal details are plated with Gold and Ruthenium.
The clip is artistically designed in the shape of a sheaf of ripe wheat, representing the goddess Demeter - the goddess of agriculture, nature, harvest and abundance. The ring in the middle of the pen body bears two famous symbols: the Greek hero Antinous and the female demon Medusa.
The handcrafted 18K gold nib is also decorated with an artistically engraved Hadrianic phoenix image with halo and laurel leaves.
