| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the personification of Roma, helmeted and seated left on a throne or cuirass, extending her right hand in a welcoming gesture toward a standing togate figure of the emperor facing right, who clasps her hand in the dextrarum iunctio. Roma holds a long vertical sceptre or spear in her left hand, and a shield rests at her side. The scene commemorates the adventus ceremony, the formal imperial arrival or welcome in the city, a recurring propagandistic theme on Hadrianic coinage. The circumferential Latin legend ADVENTVS AVG is distributed around the scene, enclosed within a beaded border. |
