| Reverse description | A prize table depicted in three-quarter perspective, its legs rendered with architectural detail, upon which rests a cup or krater holding a palm branch and an urn, symbolic of athletic or gladiatorial victory games. The reverse legend COS III P P S C is disposed around the field, with S C (Senatus Consultum) prominently featured, authorising this bronze issue. The composition reflects Hadrian's philhellenic interests and his promotion of public spectacles and games. |
