| Reverse description | The personification of Spes (Hope) advancing to the left in the field, depicted as a draped female figure wearing a chiton and himation. She raises an open flower in her right hand toward her face and gathers her garment at the hem with her left hand in the canonical Spes gesture. The figure is rendered in a graceful, striding pose with fine drapery folds conveying movement. The abbreviated Latin legend COS III appears in the field around the figure, referencing Hadrian's third consulship. A beaded border surrounds the design. |
