| Beschrijving keerzijde | The personification of Antioch seated left upon a rocky outcrop, wearing a turreted crown and draped in robes, holding a palm branch in her right hand. Beneath her feet, the river-god Orontes swims to the right, represented as a small figure emerging from the waters, symbolizing the city's famous riverine setting. The senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consultum) is prominently displayed in the field to either side of the central type, with the consular legend COS III disposed around the periphery. The composition reflects Hadrian's celebrated provincial series, commemorating his visit to the eastern provinces. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The COS III dating places this issue firmly in Hadrian's third consulship, a period when he was actively traveling the eastern provinces — he reached Syria around 129, though the Antioch mint was producing coinage in his name ahead of that visit. The personification of the Orontes river on this type is a direct acknowledgment of the city's geographic identity; Antioch was built at the Orontes bend, and the river was central to its commercial and civic life. Roman provincial flattery through river personifications was calculated, not incidental.
