| Reverse description | The personification of Aequitas, goddess of equity and fair dealing, depicted standing left in long chiton and himation, holding a pair of scales in her extended right hand and a vertical sceptre or long rod in her left hand. The figure is rendered in the classical standing pose characteristic of late Hadrianic allegorical reverses, with drapery falling in naturalistic folds. The abbreviated Latin legend AEQVITAS AVG is distributed in the field around the figure, enclosed by a beaded border. The composition conveys the imperial ideology of just governance associated with Hadrian's reign. |
