Dupondius or As - Hadrian FELICITATI AVG COS III P P S C (in exergue field)

Hadrian's third consulship ran from 119 AD, but the COS III dating on bronzes like this one clusters heavily around 128–132, coinciding with his return to Rome after years of provincial touring. The FELICITAS reverse type was deployed across multiple denominations in this period as part of a deliberate program linking Hadrian's reign with prosperity and auspicious stability — a pointed message given that his adoption by the dying Trajan had been disputed from the start.

RIC II.3 1322 distinguishes this issue within a tightly sequenced group; the OCRE concordance places it among emissions that show considerable die variation in the S C placement.
