| Reverse description | Roma, helmeted and in military dress, standing facing right and extending her right hand to clasp the hand of Hadrian, who stands at left facing right holding a scroll in his left hand. The scene depicts the formal adventus ceremony, symbolizing Rome's welcome of the emperor upon his return to the city. The two figures are rendered in a frontal composition typical of Hadrianic adventus types, conveying the bond between emperor and the personified city. The reverse legend is disposed in the field above and around the figures. |
