| Reverse description | Standing figures of Hadrian and the personification Felicitas in a clasping-hands (dextrarum iunctio) composition: Hadrian stands to the right, draped in imperial robes, extending his right hand and holding a scroll in his left, while Felicitas stands to the left, holding her attribute the caduceus in her left hand and clasping hands with the emperor. The scene symbolises the prosperity and good fortune brought by the Hadrianic reign. The two-word reverse legend is distributed across the upper field, flanking the figures. The composition reflects the programmatic reverse imagery associated with Hadrian's later coinage celebrating imperial virtues. |
