At this time (c.158) Pius restored the temple of Augustus and Livia and dedicated one to Hadrian as well as one to Faustina (big year for buildings). I am not aware of the appearance of the temple of Hadrian or if any images of it survive to suggest that this would possibly be that one. Your coin shows a bearded figure suggesting this is not Augustus or one of the women so your next stem might be to research the appearance of Hadrian's temple or accept the figure as a generic Pius shown as builder of all those projects. Marvin Tameanko added these comments: In 477 BC, a tholos (round shrine) was built on the Esquiline Hill dedicated to Spes (Hope). Later it was called the Spes Vetus, the Old Spes (presumably because a new and larger temple to Spes replaced it). Ant. Pius was an antiquarian who commemorated lots of old shrines on his coinage and this may be one of them. The figure is Spes holding a flower and sometimes a staff or standard.
