| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, rendered in the typical provincial style of the early second century AD. The emperor's portrait displays the characteristic short beard associated with Hadrian's coinage. A circular Greek legend surrounds the bust in the field, identifying the emperor by his imperial titles. The portrait is boldly struck with strong relief typical of Cilician provincial issues. |

Rhosus was a small coastal city in what is now the Iskenderun Gulf region, and its coin output was never prolific. The legend ΙΕΡΑϹ ΑϹΥΛΟΥ — "sacred and inviolable" — reflects a formal status granted by Rome, giving the city sanctuary rights that made its temples legally protected refuges. Hadrian's tour of the eastern provinces in 123–125 AD likely prompted a renewal or confirmation of such civic privileges, which cities routinely commemorated by issuing bronze.
The era date ΖΞΡ corresponds to year 167 of the Pompeian era, anchoring this piece to 125/126 AD. Rhosus adopted this reckoning from Pompey's reorganization of the region in 64 BC.
