| Reverse description | A standing figure of Genius depicted in left-facing profile, rendered in the classical allegorical tradition of Roman imperial coinage. The deity holds a patera in the right hand, extended over a flaming altar at left, performing an act of libation or sacrifice, while the left hand grasps a cornucopia, symbolizing abundance and prosperity. The composition is balanced and typical of the iconographic vocabulary employed for divine personifications on Hadrianic silver coinage. The reverse legend is distributed in the field around the figure, occupying the upper and lower periphery of the coin. The overall reverse type reflects Hadrian's religious piety and his role as Pontifex Maximus. |
