Vinum Hadrianum

Vinum Hadrianum (Greek: Adriakos, Adrianos) is a wine from Hadria or Hatria, currently known as Atri,[1][2] in Picenum on the Adriatic coast of central Italy.

[5] Pliny rated Hadrianum as one of the good wines, along with Mamertine from Messina in Sicily, Praetutian from Ancona on the Adriatic, Rhaetic from Verona, Luna from Tuscany, and Genoa from Liguria.

[1] Hadrianum was also praised by two Greek Augustan poets, Antiphilos of Byzantium and Antipater of Thessaloniki.

In the middle of the 1st century AD, Dioscorides mentioned Hadrianum as the a neighboring wine of the so-called Praetutianum.

In the middle of the 2nd century BC, a discovery was made and found broken amphorae, which had lids in the form of a small disc with a diameter of 10 cm and a small knob in the center with archaic letters written around it that read Hatria.
