| Reverse description | Fortuna Redux personified as a draped female figure seated to the left upon a throne or chair, her extended right hand holding a long rudder resting on a globe at her feet, and her left arm cradling an overflowing cornucopia. The goddess is rendered with careful drapery folds accentuating her seated pose. The legend is divided between the upper field and the exergue, with P M TR P COS II disposed around the figure and FORT RED inscribed prominently in the lower exergue. The reverse is framed by a beaded border, and the composition commemorates Hadrian's safe return to Rome following Trajan's eastern campaigns. |
