| Reverse description | Neptune standing left, nude, his right foot resting upon a prow or rock, holding a long trident vertically in his right hand and a small dolphin in his lowered left hand. The figure is rendered with confident musculature in the classical tradition, conveying divine authority over the seas. The Latin legend P M TR P COS III is distributed around the field within a beaded border, the abbreviated titulature referencing Hadrian's pontifical and tribunician powers as well as his third consulship. The composition is open and well-centered, characteristic of the high-quality engraving of the Rome mint under Hadrian. |
