| Beschrijving keerzijde | Hadrian standing right in military dress, extending his right hand to raise a kneeling personification of Italia, who holds a cornucopia in her left arm as a symbol of the peninsula's prosperity. The composition conveys the emperor's benevolent role as restorer and protector of Italy, a key propagandistic theme of his reign. The legend RESTITVTORI ITALIAE arcs across the upper field, while S C (Senatus Consultum) appears in the lower field, denoting senatorial authorization for the bronze coinage. The scene is rendered in the high-relief figurative style typical of Hadrianic bronze issues struck at Rome. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The RESTITVTORI series issued under Hadrian reflects his unprecedented program of provincial and regional tours — he visited more of the empire than any emperor before him, and the "restorer" coinage commemorated each region in turn. Italia's inclusion is pointed: Rome celebrating its own heartland as if it were a province requiring rescue. This was not empty flattery. Italian municipalities had suffered economically under the burdens of imperial taxation and the preferential treatment given to frontier provinces during the wars of Trajan's reign.
RIC II.3 1880 distinguishes this type within a tightly sequenced emission datable to the middle years of Hadrian's reign by tribunician power references on related issues.
