| Reverse description | Standing figure of Victory facing left, depicted in flowing robes with outstretched wings, holding a wreath in her extended right hand and a palm branch in her left. The personification is rendered with fine drapery detail characteristic of early Hadrianic reverse types, with the figure occupying the full height of the coin field. The circumferential legend P M TR P COS III arcs around the periphery, recording Hadrian's titles as Pontifex Maximus, holder of tribunician power, and consul for the third time, thus dating the issue to AD 120–121. The reverse field is plain, with no exergual inscription. The composition follows the traditional Roman iconographic programme associating the emperor's authority with the goddess of victory. |
