The COS III dating anchors this piece to Hadrian's third consulship, a period when the emperor was deep into his famous provincial tours — he had already visited Britain, inspected the nascent wall works, and was moving through the eastern provinces. The Justitia reverse was part of a deliberate program of virtue coinage that Hadrian deployed to project stable, philosophically grounded rule, notably absent the military triumphalism that dominated earlier imperial bronze issues.
RIC II.3 1234 falls within the revised Spink second edition numbering, which substantially reorganized Hadrian's aes coinage from the older RIC II (1926) sequence.
