Hadrian's third consulship, held from 119 AD, became a dating anchor for an enormous output of silver coinage that continued for years afterward. The Pudicitia type belongs to a deliberate program of virtue propaganda — Hadrian systematically personified Roman moral abstractions on his coinage in a way no predecessor had done so comprehensively, likely tied to the moral reorientation of imperial ideology following Trajan's militaristic reign.
RIC II.3 846 is among the more frequently encountered varieties from this consular group, reflecting the mint's sustained productivity through 126–127.
