| Beschrijving keerzijde | The personification of Pax (Peace) stands in full figure facing left at the centre of the field, rendered in long draped robes falling to her feet. She extends her right hand forward to proffer an olive branch, while her left arm cradles a cornucopia, the classical symbol of abundance. The figure is depicted in a calm, static pose characteristic of early Hadrianic reverse types. The Latin legend P M TR P COS DES II is distributed around the upper periphery, with PAX appearing in the lower field or exergue area, identifying the allegorical personification. |

Struck in 117 AD, the year Hadrian acceded following Trajan's death in Cilicia, this issue belongs to the earliest phase of his reign — before his first tribunician renewal, when the legend COS DES II marks him as consul-designate for his second consulship. The PAX type appeared almost immediately as Hadrian signaled a deliberate departure from Trajan's expansionist campaigns, abandoning newly conquered Mesopotamia and pulling Roman forces back to defensible frontiers. It was a politically contentious decision; several of Trajan's senior generals were executed shortly after, allegedly for plotting against the new emperor.
