Additional information

Hadrian's sustained promotion of Justitia across his coinage from the late 120s onward reflects a deliberate political program rather than routine type rotation. Having spent much of his reign touring the provinces and personally adjudicating legal disputes — a practice his predecessors rarely indulged — he had concrete grounds for the claim. The third consulship dating places this issue squarely within his most active provincial travel phase.
