The emperor is depicted with his characteristic square jaw and closely cropped curls, wearing a laurel wreath. The portrait exhibits high relief with confident, deeply cut modeling. The encircling legend reads HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS, with HADRIANVS distributed to the left and AVGVSTVS to the right, all contained within a beaded border. |
