| Reverse description | The emperor Hadrian is depicted in military attire on horseback, advancing to the right, his right hand raised in a gesture of adlocutio or salutation toward his troops. The horse is rendered in lively movement with careful attention to musculature and trappings. The figure of Hadrian wears a paludamentum billowing behind him, conveying dynamism and martial prowess. The field is divided by the legend COS III, with the letters flanking the equestrian group, all enclosed within a beaded border. The exergue is plain. |
