Commentary
Sur cet exemplaires, l’auguste et le césar sont tête nue ce qui semble plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
In this copy, the Augustus and Caesar are bareheaded, which seems rarer than general works suggest.

Historical background
ANTONINUS PIUS and MARCUS AURELIUS CAESAR
(140-161)
On Hadrian's recommendation, Antonin adopted Marc Aurèle and Lucius Vérus. On the coinage, Marcus Aurelius appeared in 139. He took his first consulship on January 1, 140 and his second consulship on January 1, 145. He married the daughter of Antoninus, Faustina young. The following year, at the birth of their first child, he received his first tribunician power. In 161, he succeeded his adoptive father.
