Reverse description A sailing vessel depicted in right profile under full sail, the composition conveying movement and maritime prosperity. The figurehead represents Neptune or Triton, affirming the naval and commercial symbolism of the Felicitas type. The reverse legend is distributed around the field, with the abbreviation S C (Senatus Consultum) prominently placed, denoting senatorial authority for the bronze coinage. The design celebrates the felicitas — good fortune and prosperity — of the Augustan imperial office, a recurring theme in Hadrianic propaganda.
