| Reverse description | Fortuna, the goddess of fortune, depicted seated left upon a throne or chair, holding a long rudder downward in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left. The figure is rendered in classical style with drapery falling over the seat. The legend FORTVNAE REDVCI arcs around the upper periphery of the flan, while the senatorial authorisation mark S C (Senatus Consultum) appears prominently in the lower field, confirming the authority of the Senate over bronze coinage. The overall composition is well-centered, typical of Hadrianic reverse iconography celebrating the emperor's safe return. |
