Reverse description The goddess Salus stands facing left in the field, draped in a long stola, her right hand extended and her left hand holding a long sceptre or patera. She is depicted in a serene, classical contrapposto pose consistent with Hadrianic reverse iconography celebrating the health and well-being of the state. The large senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consultum) is prominently displayed in the lower field, flanking the figure to either side. The abbreviated legend COS III appears in the surrounding border, referencing Hadrian's third consulship. The coin's reverse design reflects the propagandistic messaging of Hadrian's reign, associating imperial authority with divine protection and public welfare.
