| Reverse description | Concordia seated left on a high-backed throne, draped, holding a patera in her extended right hand and resting her left arm on the back of the throne; a small figure of Spes standing to the lower right before the throne. The exergue bears the inscription CONCORD, while the surrounding circular legend DIVI NER NEP P M TR P COS runs within a beaded border, proclaiming Hadrian's descent from the deified Nerva and his principal magistracies. The composition conveys the dynastic harmony and political legitimacy that Hadrian sought to emphasize at the very outset of his reign. |
