Beschrijving keerzijde The personification of Fortuna Redux seated left on a high-backed throne, her body draped in flowing robes, extending a long rudder resting on a globe in her right hand and cradling a cornucopia in her left arm. The composition is rendered in the accomplished Hadrianic style, with careful attention to the drapery folds and the symbolic attributes. The legend COS III PP FORT RED is distributed around the field, with COS III PP appearing in the upper and right portion of the exergual area, referencing Hadrian's third consulship and the title Pater Patriae. A beaded border encircles the design.

Aanvullende informatie

The FORT RED reverse type — Fortuna Redux, "Fortune the Home-Bringer" — was struck to commemorate Hadrian's return to Rome after his extensive eastern tour, a journey lasting several years through Greece, Asia Minor, Egypt, and the Danubian provinces. Hadrian's near-constant travel was exceptional even by imperial standards, and the mint responded with a documented series of adventus and redux types marking both his departures and returns.

COS III dates the issue precisely to after 119 AD, but the PP title alongside it anchors this to 128 at the earliest, tightening the attribution to the final leg of his travels.
