| Reverse description | Hadrian stands facing with head turned to the left, dressed in military or imperial attire, holding a scroll in one hand and extending the other to receive a sceptre grasped in the talons of an eagle depicted flying to the right in the upper left field. The composition conveys the divine sanction of imperial power through the intermediary of Jupiter's eagle. The reverse type alludes to the providential care of the gods for the Roman emperor and state. The legend PROVIDENTIA DEORVM is disposed in the field around the central figural group. |
