Beschrijving keerzijde Standing figure of Honos (the personification of honour) facing left, rendered in full length, draped in military or civic garb. The deity holds a branch in the right hand and a cornucopia in the left, attributes emblematic of honour and abundance. The senatorial mark of value S C (Senatus Consultum) appears prominently in the field to either side of the figure, affirming senatorial authority over the bronze coinage. The surrounding circular legend carries Hadrian's titulature, and the overall composition is characteristic of the Hadrianic aes series struck at Rome circa 119–120 AD.

Aanvullende informatie

Hadrian's early coinage reset the ideological program of the principate almost immediately after his accession in 117 AD. The Honos type belongs to a concentrated burst of civic virtue reverses struck in 119–120, when Hadrian was consolidating legitimacy after the controversial execution of four senior ex-consuls — an act he spent years publicly distancing himself from, including a formal oath before the Senate that he had not ordered it.

RIC II.3 #268 falls within the revised Spink numbering that substantially reorganized the earlier RIC II Hadrian sequence. Collectors working from older references should cross-check against OCRE before attributing.
