| Reverse description | Adventus scene depicting Emperor Hadrian standing right, his right hand raised in salutation and his left hand holding a volumen (scroll); facing him is the personification of Africa, standing left, wearing a distinctive elephant-scalp headdress, and holding a patera in her right hand and corn ears in her left. Between the two figures stands an altar, with a bull typically positioned at its base. The composition celebrates Hadrian's imperial visit to the province of Africa, rendered within a beaded border with the legend divided across the field and exergue. |
