| Reverse description | The personification of Pietas rendered as a standing draped female figure facing left, her arms raised with both hands extended outward in a gesture of supplication or veneration. An altar appears to the left of the figure, serving as an attribute of pious devotion. The design occupies the full reverse field with the encircling Latin legend TR POT COS II distributed around the periphery. The composition reflects the Hadrianic court's emphasis on dynastic piety following Aelius's adoption as Caesar in AD 136. |
