| Reverse description | Bare-headed draped bust of Hadrian facing right, seen from the rear or three-quarter rear angle, with the paludamentum visible across the left shoulder and upper back, the folds of the drapery rendered with sculptural precision. The emperor's short, neatly curled hair and beard are clearly articulated in the engraving. The surrounding legend HADRIANVS AVG III P P runs around the periphery of the flan. This unusual reverse portrait type, depicting the emperor from behind, is a distinctive and rare compositional choice associated with specific issues of Hadrian's bronze coinage catalogued under RIC II.3 2298. |
