Beschrijving keerzijde Neptune standing left, nude save for a chlamys draped over the left arm, resting his right foot upon a rock or prow and leaning forward on a long trident held vertically in his right hand. His left hand rests upon his raised knee. The god is depicted in a pose of commanding repose, evoking his dominion over the seas. The legend COS III appears in the field to the right, and a dotted border frames the reverse design.

Aanvullende informatie

Hadrian's third consulship, held from 119 AD and used as a dating formula on coinage through the mid-120s, coincided with his well-documented tour of the western provinces — Britain, Gaul, Spain, and ultimately across to the East. Neptune's appearance on the reverse almost certainly alludes to these sea crossings, a deliberate piece of imperial messaging from an emperor who logged more nautical miles than virtually any of his predecessors.
