Reverse description Standing figure of Emperor Hadrian, togate, facing left, extending his right hand to raise a kneeling personification of Africa, who wears an elephant-scalp headdress and holds ears of corn in her left hand; between the two figures, stalks of corn grow from the ground, symbolizing the province's agricultural fertility. The composition belongs to the celebrated 'Restitutor' series issued to commemorate Hadrian's provincial tours. The senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consulto) appears in the field, flanking the central group. The reverse legend arcs across the upper field in crisp Roman capitals.
