| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts Hercules standing facing, nude and muscular, positioned centrally within a tetrastyle temple or columned architectural frame resting on a podium. He is flanked by two standing female figures, likely personifications or attendants, one to each side within the colonnade. Beneath the podium, a reclining river god or defeated figure is shown prostrate, symbolising subjugation or triumph. The legend P M TR P COS III is distributed in the field to left and right of the architectural setting. A beaded border frames the entire composition, which is rendered in bold, deeply struck relief characteristic of Hadrianic gold coinage from the Rome Mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hadrian's early aurei from 121–123 AD coincide with his first major tour of the provinces — a deliberate political strategy of personal inspection and military consolidation that no preceding emperor had attempted at such scale. The Hercules type almost certainly references Hadrian's well-documented personal identification with the demigod, a theme he cultivated more aggressively than any of his predecessors and would continue to develop through his reign.
RIC II.3 #576 was catalogued as part of the thorough 2007 revision of the second volume, which substantially reorganized earlier attributions for Hadrianic gold.
