| Beschrijving keerzijde | The personification of Tranquillitas, draped and standing facing left in a stately contrapposto pose, holds an upright sceptre in her raised right hand and rests her left arm upon a tall column at her side — attributes conveying calm authority and stability. The figure is rendered in the classicizing style characteristic of Hadrianic coinage, with finely articulated drapery falling to the ground line. The surrounding legend, distributed around the coin's periphery, records the emperor's titles. The flan shows the irregular outline typical of hammered Roman imperial denarii of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tranquillitas — "Tranquility" — was a personified virtue Hadrian invoked with unusual frequency during the years surrounding his second great journey through the eastern provinces, a calculated propaganda effort to project stability after the turbulence of Trajan's Dacian and Parthian wars and the bloody purges that marked Hadrian's own accession in 117. The COS III dating anchors this piece firmly to 119–138, with the tighter RIC bracket placing it during active travel years when the emperor was rarely in Rome.
