| Reverse description | A galley or warship depicted sailing to the left, rendered in profile with oars extended and a possible figurehead in the form of a Triton or similar marine deity at the prow. The vessel's hull, superstructure, and rigging are summarily but recognizably rendered in the artistic conventions of Roman imperial coinage. The reverse legend encircles the central type, referencing the emperor's felicity, his third consulship, and his title as Father of the Fatherland. The type is associated with Hadrian's celebrated sea voyages throughout the empire during this period. |
