That's Hadrian

 

The construction of the temple to Diva Faustina, which was later rededicated to Divus Antoninus and Diva Faustina, began in the year following the empress's death in AD 141. It was probably completed about AD 150, which is the date assigned to this issue in Hill, The Monuments of Ancient Rome as Coin Types, pp. 11-13. The shell of the building still survives in the Roman Forum, enclosing the church of S. Lorenzo in Miranda.



Valerian I reportedly restored the temple of Vulcan in the Campus Martius in Rome (probably near the Circus Flaminius), thus establishing a purpose for this issue.

The largest and most splendid of Rome's temples, the Temple of Venus and Rome, was designed by Hadrian himself. It was depicted numerous times on coinage over the century. This coin was issued within a year of a fire that damaged the temple and its restoration by Maxentius. Its reverse legend CONSERVATORES VRB SVAE declares Maxentius as the Savior of the City. Certainly, the rebuilding of this venerated temple would be worthy of a coin in commemoration of the event!

Ex-Calgary Coin

This celebrated temple had been rebuilt by Nero following the great fire of 64 AD. The Neronian structure survived until another conflagration late in the reign of Commodus and was again restored early in the 3rd century by Julia Domna. It was again rebuilt in more modern times where it still stands in the Roman Forum to this day.

Die notes from Curtis Clay:

"Same dies, and better condition, than the Paris spec., pl. LVII, 663.

The BM spec., pl. 26.9, also illustrated in RIC, pl. 40, 601, is also from the same rev. die, but a different obv. die.

The BM and Paris specimens of the same As for Titus COS II CENS are also from that same rev. die: BM pl. 27.7 = RIC pl. 42, 640; Paris pl. LIX, 689."

 

Very nice coin with interesting reverse
