Commentary
Cette monnaie a du être frappée entre le 1er janvier 139 et le 25 février 139, car jusqu'en 147, Antonin renouvelait sa puissance tribunitienne à cette date, marque de son élévation au césarat par Hadrien.
This coin must have been minted between January 1, 139, and February 25, 139, because until 147, Antoninus renewed his tribunician power on this date, a mark of his elevation to the Caesarate by Hadrian.

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.
