Commentary
Un seul exemplaire référencé dans le Roman Provincial Coinage (RPC onine n° 3950) signalé dans l’ouvrage de E. Schönert-Geiss consacré à Périnthe n° 393, pl. 21, provenant de la collection Stamules. C’est le deuxième exemplaire signalé, qui semble de mêmes coins que le moulage de Berlin, beaucoup mieux conservé. De la plus grande rareté. Au revers le personnage à la proue semble ce qui pourrait être un thyrse ce qui l’dentifierait alors avec Dionysos.

This is the second example reported, which seems to have the same corners as the Berlin casting, much better preserved. Of the greatest rarity. On the reverse the figure on the bow appears to be what could be a thyrsus which would then identify it with Dionysus

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.
