| Obverse lettering | IMP CAES TRAIAN HADRIANO OPT AVG GER DAC (Translation: Imperator, Caesar, Traianus Hadriano Optimus Augustus, Germanicus, Dacicus. Supreme commander (Imperator), Caesar, Trajan Hadrian, the best emperor (Augustus), conqueror of the Germans, conqueror of the Dacians.) |
| Reverse description | Two draped female figures stand facing one another in the open field, clasping hands at center in a dextrarum iunctio gesture, symbolizing concordia or the transfer of imperial power. The figure to the left, turreted and wearing a long chiton and himation, likely represents a personification of a province or the East; the figure to the right, similarly draped, may represent Roma or another allegorical figure. Between them, a small globus is held, emphasizing the theme of universal sovereignty. The circumferential legend in Latin capital letters reads PARTHIC DIVI TRAIAN AVG F P M TR P COS P P, proclaiming Hadrian's descent from the deified Trajan and listing his principal titles. The composition is rendered in a clean, classical style with no exergual line. |
