| Reverse description | Standing figure of Hadrian facing left, depicted in military dress with paludamentum draped over the cuirass, his right hand raised in an adlocutio gesture of address and his left hand holding a long spear. Two military standards are positioned to the emperor's left and one standard to his right, symbolizing imperial authority over the legions. The composition conveys the theme of the emperor as commander and protector of the Roman armies. The concise reverse legend COS III PP appears in the field, with a plain border encircling the design. |
