| Reverse description | The goddess Roma, helmeted and in military attire, stands facing right and extends her right hand to clasp the hand of Emperor Hadrian, who stands opposite her to the left holding a scroll in his left hand. The scene commemorates the adventus ceremony, the formal imperial arrival and reception in the city of Rome. The figures are rendered in classical relief typical of Hadrianic die-cutting, with the legend ADVENTVS AVGVSTI inscribed in the field around the composition. |
