| Reverse description | A Roman galley or trireme under full sail advances to the right, its billowing sail dominating the central field. The vessel features a prominent figurehead in the form of Neptune or Triton at the prow, with an acrostolium at the stern. The reverse legend, partially inscribed on the sail and surrounding the design, alludes to the felicitas — the divine favour and prosperous fortune — of the emperor, likely commemorating Hadrian's extensive maritime travels throughout the empire. The exergual area is plain, and the senatorial authority mark S·C flanks the design. |
