Commentary


Poids léger. Il faut bien lire TR P XVII et non pas XVI comme nous l'avions signalé dans MONNAIES V. Le dernier I appartient bien à la légende et ne constitue pas la pointe du cou.
Light weight. It should be read TR P XVII and not XVI as we indicated in COINS V. The last I belongs to the legend and does not constitute the point of the neck

Historical background


ANTONINUS PIUS

(02/25/138-03/7/161)

Augustus

Antonin was born on September 19, 86 in Lanuvium. His family is from Gaul (Nîmes). He was a wealthy senator who married Faustina the Elder between 110 and 115 and thus entered Hadrian's family by marriage. After the death of Aelius on January 1, 138, Hadrian chose Antonin to succeed him on February 25, 138, adding two adopted sons, Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus. Hadrian dies on July 10 and Antonin succeeds him. He must first fight to deify Hadrian, enemy of the Senate. In 139, Marc Aurèle becomes Caesar and Faustina Augusta. His reign is calm and happy and symbolizes the "Pax Romana" of the second century. In 148, he commemorated with pomp the 900th anniversary of Rome.
