| Reverse description | Standing figure of Diana, the goddess of the hunt, depicted facing left in a long flowing stola, her head crowned with a crescent or lunate diadem. She extends one arm forward, likely holding a patera or torch, while her draped garments fall in vertical folds to the ground. The figure occupies the central field of the coin in a frontal-facing stance, with the abbreviated consular legend COS III disposed in the surrounding field. The reverse type alludes to Hadrian's personal reverence for traditional Roman religion and his programme of divine patronage. |
