| Beschrijving keerzijde | Concordia, the personification of harmony, seated left upon a high-backed throne, holding a patera in her right hand and resting her left arm upon a standing figure of Spes (Hope). A cornucopia is placed beneath the throne, further enriching the allegorical imagery of abundance and concord. The reverse composition reflects the programmatic messaging of Hadrian's early reign, emphasizing continuity and divine favour. The senatorial authority mark SC (Senatus Consultum) appears in the lower field, flanking the seated figure. The surrounding legend references Hadrian's inherited honorific titles. |

Issued in 117 AD, the year Hadrian came to power under deeply ambiguous circumstances — Trajan died in Cilicia before reaching Rome, and the adoption papers legitimizing Hadrian's succession were widely suspected to have been forged by Trajan's wife Plotina. The DAC PARTHICO titulature Hadrian inherited from Trajan was one he quietly dropped within months, having already decided to abandon Trajan's eastern conquests entirely and pull Roman forces back behind the Euphrates.
This piece belongs to the very opening of his reign, struck before that policy reversal was complete.
