| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed and draped bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, rendered with characteristic curly hair and short beard in the Hellenistic manner favored by the emperor. The effigy displays finely modeled facial features including a prominent brow and aquiline nose, with the drapery visible at the truncation of the shoulder. The encircling Latin legend reads HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS, distributed around the periphery of the flan. The entire design is contained within a beaded border typical of Hadrianic aes coinage struck at the Rome mint. |

Justitia as a divine personification had existed in Roman thought for generations, but it was Hadrian who made her a recurring presence on the bronze coinage — part of a deliberate program projecting imperial virtues during a reign defined more by administration and consolidation than by conquest. The COS III dating places this issue between 119 and 138, with the P P title narrowing it to after 128, coinciding with Hadrian's return from his extensive eastern travels and a renewed focus on domestic governance.
RIC II.3 1240 is attested in both dupondius and as formats, distinguished in hand by flan weight and, where preserved, orichalcum versus copper color — a distinction the catalog reference alone cannot resolve.
