| Beschrijving keerzijde | A river god reclines to the left in the field, his mature, semi-nude figure resting on his left elbow atop a rocky outcrop from which waters gush forth below. He holds a reed in his right hand and a sceptre in his left, personifying the sacred thermal waters associated with the city of Hierapolis. The abbreviated Latin legend appears in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hierapolis in Phrygia — not to be confused with the more famous Syrian city — held the status of a conventus seat under Roman administration, meaning it hosted the regional assize court where the governor periodically dispensed justice. Civic coinage from such centers often spiked during imperial visits or in anticipation of them, as cities competed for imperial favor through flattering dedications. Hadrian's extensive tour of the eastern provinces in the 120s AD made him the most physically present emperor the Greek-speaking cities had ever seen, and the COS III designation dates this issue to after 119 AD.
