| Reverse description | The reverse depicts Roma, helmeted and seated left on a cuirass, holding a spear in her left hand and extending her right hand in greeting toward a kneeling province personified as a seminude female figure who clasps Roma's hand in a gesture of submission and welcome. A round shield rests against the seat beside Roma. The scene commemorates the adventus ceremony, Hadrian's ceremonial arrival and reception across the provinces of the empire. The legend ADVENTVS AVG is distributed in the field around the figural group, all within a beaded border. |
