Both figures are shown in military or toga dress, rendered in the classical Roman tradition. The reverse legend surrounds the figural group, with SC (Senatus Consultum) prominently placed in the lower field, authorizing the bronze coinage by decree of the Senate. |

Struck in the first months of Hadrian's reign, this issue explicitly invokes Trajan's titulature — DAC PARTHICO — at a moment when Hadrian was quietly dismantling exactly the conquests those titles celebrated. He withdrew Roman forces from Mesopotamia and Armenia almost immediately upon succession, judging Trajan's eastern empire militarily indefensible. Invoking his predecessor's greatest victories on the coinage while reversing the policy behind them was a calculated act of legitimation, not commemoration.
