Commentary
Rare variante au revers : la victoriola, au lieu de tenir une couronne, est tournée vers la droite et tient des deux mains, un trophée. Cette variabte de type ne semble pas avoir été signalée. Associée à la proue qui supporte le bouclier, elle pourrait être associée à une victoire navale.
Rare variant on the reverse: the victoriola, instead of holding a crown, is turned to the right and holds a trophy in both hands. This type variable does not appear to have been reported. Associated with the bow which supports the shield, it could be associated with a naval victory

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.
