| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Hadrian facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair curls and a short beard characteristic of the emperor's iconography. The paludamentum is visible over the left shoulder, and the cuirass is rendered with military precision. The encircling Latin legend runs continuously around the periphery of the flan. The portrait displays the confident, idealized realism typical of Hadrianic imperial art at Rome. |
