| Reverse description | The goddess Salus seated right on a throne, draped in flowing robes, extending her right hand to feed a serpent coiling upward from an altar to her left. Her left arm rests on the throne, holding what appears to be a sceptre. The figure is rendered with careful attention to drapery folds and classical composure, embodying the concept of public health and welfare. The senatorial mark S C (Senatus Consultum) is divided across the left field, flanking the central type, while the legend COS III appears around the periphery. The overall composition is typical of Hadrianic reverse iconography in its harmonious balance between inscription and figural design. |
