Hadrian's third consulship, held continuously from 119 AD, anchors this issue precisely within the early reorganization of his reign — a period when he was actively dismantling Trajan's eastern expansions and redirecting imperial resources toward consolidation. The Pietas type appears across multiple denominations in this phase, part of a deliberate program promoting traditional Roman religious virtue as political currency after the turbulence of the Trajanic succession.
RIC II.3 #481 reflects the 2007 revision of the original RIC volume, which substantially reattributed and renumbered Hadrianic bronzes as scholarship on mint organization advanced.
