| Reverse description | The personification of Justitia (Justice) is depicted seated left on a high-backed throne or curule chair, draped in long robes. She extends her right hand forward, likely holding a patera or gesture of offering, while her left hand rests on a long vertical sceptre. The senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consultum) is disposed in the field, S to the left and C to the right of the seated figure. The legend IVSTITIA AVG P P COS III is distributed around the periphery, with COS III appearing in the lower exergual area. The composition reflects the Hadrianic programme of promoting civic virtues through coinage iconography. |
