| Reverse description | Hadrian, togate and standing to the right, extends his right hand to clasp hands with Roma, who stands facing left clad in military attire and holding a spear in her left hand. Hadrian holds a scroll or volumen in his left hand, symbolising imperial authority and civic governance. The dextrarum iunctio motif between the two figures emphasises the bond between emperor and the eternal city. The composition is flanked by the two-word legend ADVENTVS AVGVSTI in the field, referring to the ceremonial imperial arrival. The type commemorates one of Hadrian's celebrated returns to Rome. |
