The rider is shown in military attire, seated with authority upon the mount whose forelegs are raised in animated movement. The exergual legend COS III appears in the lower field beneath a ground line, separated from the equestrian group. The composition is enclosed within a beaded border and conveys the martial prestige and imperial authority of Hadrian. |
