Summary edit

Description The reverse depicts Hadrian as founder, ploughing with bull and cow the sulcus primigenius (aboriginal furrow) that established the colony's pomerium (sacred boundary). The vexillum, or military standard, in the background represents the veteran status of the colony's new inhabitants. The legend, COL[ONIA] AEL[IA] KAPIT[OLINA] COND[ITA], translates "The founding of Colonia Aelia Capitolina".
