In her right hand she holds a parazonium (short sword), and in her left hand an upright spear rests against her shoulder. The reverse field is open, with dots serving as decorative punctuation flanking the legend. The reverse legend COS III • appears in the field, referencing Hadrian's third consulship. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hadrian's third consulship, held from 119 AD, was used as a continuous dating marker on coinage well into the late 120s — the COS III designation alone spans nearly a decade of issues, making precise dating within that window difficult without die study. The Virtus type belongs to a broader program of allegorical reverses Hadrian deployed to project an image of martial competence despite personally abandoning Trajan's eastern conquests almost immediately upon accession.
