| Beschrijving keerzijde | The personification of Aeternitas (Eternity) stands facing, her head turned to the left, holding in her outstretched hands the radiate bust of Sol (the Sun) and the crescent-crowned bust of Luna (the Moon), symbolizing the eternal and cyclical nature of time. The figure is rendered in the classicizing style favored under Hadrian, with drapery falling in naturalistic folds. The reverse legend is distributed in the field around the central figure, framed within a beaded border. This type was struck to emphasize the enduring, divine character of the Hadrianic principate. |

Hadrian's early coinage program after 117 AD was partly a legitimacy exercise — Trajan had not formally adopted him, and the circumstances of his accession were disputed enough that the Praetorian Guard executed four senior senators almost immediately. The Aeternitas type belongs to a broader series emphasizing the stability and permanence of Roman rule at a moment when that permanence was very much in question.
COS III dates the issue precisely to his third consulship, held without renewal after 119.
