| Reverse description | The reverse depicts Bonus Eventus (Good Fortune or Favourable Outcome) as a nude male figure standing facing left in a naturalistic contrapposto stance. In his extended right hand he holds a patera (libation dish), while his lowered left hand holds a grain ear or spray of wheat. The figure occupies the centre of the field against a plain ground, evoking classical Hellenistic sculptural prototypes. The surrounding legend P M TR P COS III is distributed in the field to left and right, enclosed within a beaded border, referencing Hadrian's offices as Pontifex Maximus, holder of Tribunician Power, and Consul for the third time. |
