| Reverse description | The reverse depicts Hadrian as an equestrian figure, shown in right profile astride a prancing horse moving to the right, with his right arm raised in the adlocutio gesture of salute or address. The emperor wears military attire with a paludamentum (military cloak) billowing behind him. The horse is shown in a lively stepping pose above a ground line. The field legend COS III is disposed to the left and right of the equestrian group, referencing Hadrian's third consulship held from AD 119. |
