| Reverse description | A Roman warship (navis) proceeding to the right, depicted with multiple oars extending below the hull, a high stern ornament (aplustre), and several crew figures visible on deck, one of whom appears to be at the steering position. A mast with rigging is suggested amidships, conveying the vessel's propulsive power. The scene alludes to Hadrian's extensive sea voyages across the empire and his patronage of naval affairs, framed within the FELICITATI AVG legend above and the consular and senatorial titles distributed around the field and in the lower exergue area. The coin is struck with the bold, broad flan characteristic of Roman imperial bronze coinage of this period. |
