| Reverse description | The personification of Libertas, goddess of freedom, stands facing left in long flowing robes, holding in her right hand a pileus (the felt cap symbolic of manumission and liberty) and in her left hand a vindicta (the rod used in the Roman ceremony of manumission). The figure is rendered in the classical style associated with Hadrianic allegorical types, with drapery falling in natural folds. The abbreviated legend COS III appears in the field around the figure, referencing Hadrian's third consulship. A dotted border frames the design on the surviving portions of the flan. |
