| Beschrijving keerzijde | The personification of Patientia (Patience) is seated left on a throne or chair, her drapery falling in naturalistic folds across her lap and legs. She extends her right hand forward in a gesture of clemency or offering, while her left hand grasps a tall vertical sceptre. The reverse legend is divided between the upper field and the exergue, with COSIII prominently inscribed below the figure. The composition is well-centered and executed in a style consistent with the skilled die-cutters of the Rome mint under Hadrian. |

Patientia — the personification of endurance — appeared on Roman imperial coinage primarily as a political statement rather than a theological one. Hadrian's adoption of the type around 128–129 aligns with his extended provincial tours, during which the emperor cultivated an image of stoic, deliberate governance in deliberate contrast to Trajan's martial posture. The choice was pointed: patience as imperial virtue, not passivity.
RIC II.3 #964 is catalogued among a dense cluster of personification reverses from Hadrian's third consulship year, many sharing obverse dies.
