| Reverse description | Hadrian, togatus, stands left atop a rostrum in an adlocutio scene, his right arm raised in address toward a group of citizens assembled to the left. Behind and to the right, a temple facade is visible, providing architectural context to the public address. The exergual and field areas frame the composition with the senatorial authorization marks. The scene commemorates Hadrian's direct engagement with the Roman populace, consistent with his celebrated policy of personal accessibility and civic presence. The legend and S C marks appear prominently within the field. |
