| Reverse description | Standing figure of Salus, the goddess of health and well-being, depicted facing right and holding a serpent coiled upward in her right hand while extending a patera in her left to feed the snake. The composition conveys the goddess's benevolent and nourishing aspect, a common reverse type employed on Hadrianic bronzes to associate the emperor's rule with public welfare. The legend COS III appears above or to the side, with the senatorial authorisation mark S C prominently placed in the field. The style is characteristic of the Roman Imperial mint's output during Hadrian's third consulship. |
