| Reverse description | The reverse presents a multi-figure congiarium scene depicting Hadrian seated left on a raised platform (suggestum), extending his right hand toward a male citizen advancing right and raising his toga in anticipation of receiving the imperial donative. Behind the emperor stands the personification of Liberalitas facing, head turned left, holding a coin scoop (loculus) in her right hand and a cornucopiae in her left. To the right, an attendant stands left, overseeing the distribution. The exergual field is plain, and the legend with senatorial authority mark frames the scene. |
