| Obverse description | Radiate and draped bust of Hadrian facing right, depicted with a short beard characteristic of his portraiture, the radiate crown identifying the denomination as a dupondius. The emperor's paludamentum is visible over the left shoulder, rendered with fine drapery folds. A continuous Latin legend encircles the bust within a beaded border, filling the field around the imperial effigy. The portrait exhibits the high-relief modelling typical of Rome mint production under Hadrian, with carefully articulated facial features and curled hair. |
