| Reverse description | Hadrian standing right, his right hand raised in a gesture of greeting or address and his left hand holding a scroll, faces the personification of Italia standing left. Italia holds a patera in her extended right hand and a cornucopia in her left arm, symbolizing the abundance of the Italian peninsula. Between the two figures stands an altar, typically depicted with a bull at its base, referencing the sacrificial rites associated with the imperial adventus ceremony. The composition is framed by the senatorial decree legend in the field and exergue, underscoring the official, state-sanctioned nature of the issue. The scene commemorates Hadrian's formal return to Italy as part of his celebrated series of provincial and regional adventus coinage. |
