| Reverse description | Hadrian stands facing right upon a raised tribunal platform, his right hand extended in the adlocutio gesture of address, his left hand holding a scroll, embodying his role as commander and legislator. Before him, a group of three soldiers bearing legionary standards faces the emperor, with a lictor positioned between the soldiers and the platform, his back to the viewer, mediating the formal military assembly. The scene commemorates Hadrian's celebrated visits to the Dacian legions and reflects the broader EXERCITVS series of adlocutio reverses struck during his provincial tours. The senatorial authority for the issue is confirmed by the prominent S C (Senatus Consultum) mark in the field. The legend EXERC DACICVS is positioned in the exergue or reverse field, identifying the assembled troops as the Army of Dacia. |
