| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped bust of Hadrian facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed curly hair and a full, close-cropped beard characteristic of the emperor's mature portraiture. The effigy displays the emperor's distinctive physiognomy with strong facial features and naturalistic musculature at the neck and shoulder. The surrounding legend is incuse within a beaded border that follows the irregular flan. This portrait belongs to the late Hadrianic series of circa AD 134–138, notable for its accomplished sculptural quality in the Roman Imperial tradition. |
