| Reverse description | The emperor, rendered in full military dress including paludamentum and cuirass, stands facing left, extending his right hand holding a patera over a lighted and garlanded altar; his left hand rests upon a long sceptre. The sacrificial scene is rendered in a static, hieratic provincial style typical of Bithynian civic coinage. The reverse legend naming the city of Hadrianopolis in Bithynia runs around the periphery within a beaded border. The composition emphasises the emperor's role as high priest and military commander. |
