Commentary
Représentation inhabituelle de la Santé qui ne fait son apparition que pendant cette émission et cette année là, peut-être liée à une maladie de Marc Aurèle.
An unusual representation of Health, which only appears during this issue and in that year, perhaps linked to an illness of Marcus Aurelius.

Historical background
COMMODUS
(166-31/12/192)
Augustus with Marcus Aurelius
Commodus was born in the purple on August 31, 161. Son of Marcus Aurelius and young Faustina, his twin brother died very early, in 165 or 166. He received the title of Caesar on this date but he was not really associated with power. only at the time of the revolt of Avidius Cassius in 175, after the death of Faustina Young in Cappadocia. For the first time since Nerva, the emperor did not choose his successor by adoption, but raised his own offspring to the Augustate. Commode, associated with the Empire from 176-177, will succeed his father in 180.
