| Additional information |
FORT REDVCI — "Fortuna the Returner" — was struck to celebrate Hadrian's final return to Rome after decades of provincial tours that took him through Britannia, the Eastern provinces, Greece, and North Africa. By 133–135, he was in failing health, and these issues carry a political charge: the imagery of safe return doubled as reassurance to the Senate and Roman public that the emperor, however diminished, was back and governing. He would die at Baiae in 138 without leaving Rome again.
