Commentary
Cette monnaie est une variante du RIC 981. Ainsi, l’Annone au revers tient également une corne d’abondance et nous pouvons aussi remarquer que le gouvernail ne repose pas sur une proue de navire.
This coin is a variant of the RIC 981. Thus, the Annone on the reverse also holds a cornucopia and we can also notice that the rudder does not rest on a ship's bow

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.
