| Reverse description | Laureate head of Jupiter facing right, rendered with wavy hair and a short beard in the classical divine tradition. The head is depicted bare of the bust, set prominently in the center of the flan. The abbreviated consular legend COS III is distributed in the field around the deity's portrait, referencing Hadrian's third consulship held from AD 119 onward. The reverse type, associating the emperor's coinage with the king of the gods, underscores the ideological connection between imperial authority and divine sanction characteristic of Hadrianic bronzes. |
