| Reverse description | The Genius of the Circus personified as a reclining male figure turned to the left, his head turned back over his shoulder, holding a chariot wheel in one hand while resting his other arm upon three obelisks positioned on the spina of a hippodrome. The scene commemorates Hadrian's gift of circus games to the Roman people in the 874th year of the city. The senatorial authorization mark S C appears in the field, as customary on base-metal Imperial coinage, and the commemorative legend is distributed around the reclining figure. |
