I've just written a whole section on adlocutio from 235-395 for my thesis - finally being submitted in a couple of weeks 
- albeit a year late
No adlocutio scenes on coins or physical monuments show any such device. Also we have to be careful with the speeches recorded by the sources - they aren't accurate transcripts of what was said - although it is plausible to argue that the speeches themselves actually occurred when the sources say they did rather than believing they are mere literary devices.
