| Beschrijving keerzijde | The personification of Salus, goddess of health and well-being, is depicted seated left on a high-backed throne, robed in flowing drapery. Her right hand extends forward holding a patera from which she feeds a serpent coiled upward around a flaming altar set to her left; in her left hand she holds a long sceptre. The legend is divided across the upper field and exergue, enclosed within a beaded border, and the composition reflects the classicizing allegorical style characteristic of early Hadrianic coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck in the opening months of Hadrian's reign, this aureus belongs to a group issued before he even reached Rome following Trajan's death in August 117. The COS DES III designation — consul designate for the third time — places it firmly in that transitional window before his actual third consulship began in 119. The SALVS AVG type carried pointed political weight at this moment: Hadrian's accession was contested enough that the Praetorian Guard had executed four senior senators without trial, an act Hadrian publicly disavowed but which haunted the early years of his principate.
