Commentary


Avec ce revers, nous avons deux variétés de buste nu avec ou sans drapé sur l’épaule gauche. Le type avec la tête nue seulement semble plus rare. Suivant les exemplaires la représentation du bûcher funéraire (rogus) est légèrement différente, mais toujours avec quatre étages dont le premier est décoré et sert de base, le second avec des ouvertures.
With this lapel we have two varieties of bare bust with or without draping over the left shoulder. The guy with only the bare head seems rarer. Depending on the example, the representation of the funeral pyre (rogus) is slightly different, but always with four floors, the first of which is decorated and serves as a base, the second with openings.

Historical background


DIVUS ANTONINUS PIUS

(+7/03/161)

Consecration of Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus

Antonin was born in 86. He already fell very ill in 144 and nearly died. From 160, the Emperor is continually bedridden. At the beginning of the year 161, Antonin no longer gets up and dies on March 7, 161. He is immediately deified by Marcus Aurelius and buried in the Mausoleum of Hadrian, the current Castel Sant'Angelo. The crematorium "Ustrinum Antonini Pii" seems to be the one that was already used for the cremation of Faustina the Elder in 141. It is located in Regio IX of the Circus Maximus, west of the Corso, near the current Piazza Montecitorio.
