| Reverse description | The personification of Virtus, goddess of military valor, is depicted seated to the right upon a cuirass with a round shield visible beneath her. She holds an upright spear in her right hand and a parazonium (short military dagger) in her left hand, her figure draped in classical military garb. The composition is enclosed within a beaded border, with the abbreviated Latin legend COS III flanking the figure and a pellet (bullet point) serving as a decorative stop. The type celebrates Hadrian's third consulship and his association with the virtues of Roman martial prowess. |
