| Reverse description | Standing figure of Spes (Hope) facing left in the centre of the field, depicted as a draped female wearing a modius on her head. She raises her right hand aloft holding a flower, while her left hand gathers the hem of her garment. The monogram S C (Senatus Consultum) is prominently placed in the lower field to either side of the figure, flanking her at mid-body level. The abbreviated Latin legend encircling the type records the emperor's pontifical, tribunician, and consular titles, with the entire composition executed in the bold, well-spaced style of early Hadrianic large-bronze coinage. |
