| Beschrijving keerzijde | A Roman war galley (navis) depicted in right profile occupies the central field, rendered with fine detail showing a prominent ram (rostrum) at the prow, an elevated stern curling upward at the rear, oars extending below the hull, and a small figure at the helm. The vessel evokes Hadrian's well-documented naval interests and extensive imperial travels. The legend COS III arcs across the upper field, while the senatorial authority mark S C is placed in the lower exergual area, flanking the base of the ship. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hadrian's third consulship, held from 119 AD, was largely ceremonial by the time these asses were struck — he declined a fourth, unusual restraint for an emperor who otherwise cultivated an image of engaged, travelling governance. The COS III designation on bronzes of this window places them squarely within his most active years of provincial travel, a circuit that took him through Britannia, Germania, and the eastern provinces in close succession.
RIC II.3 #821 is one of several closely related types from this emission, distinguished within OCRE by die-axis and surface treatment details that repay careful examination against the published corpus.
