| Reverse description | The emperor, depicted as a heroic equestrian figure, gallops vigorously to the right on a prancing horse, his military cloak billowing behind him. He raises his right hand in a gesture of command or salute, and holds a spear in his left hand. The large senatorial authority marks S and C (Senatus Consultum) flank the central equestrian group in the field to the left and right respectively. The legend COS III appears at the top of the field, while EXPED AVG is inscribed in the exergue, commemorating Hadrian's imperial expeditions and tours of the provinces. |
