Commentary
Poids excessivement léger. Rubans de type 3. C’est la première fois que nous proposons ce type à la vente qui semble plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
Excessively light weight. Type 3 ribbons. This is the first time we have offered this type for sale, which seems rarer than general publications suggest.

Historical background
COMMODUS
(166-31/12/192)
Augustus
Commodus succeeded his father Marc Aurèle, who died in Vienna on March 17, 180. He hastened to conclude a truce with the Germanic tribes and then abandoned public life. The Empire was successively governed by the prefects of the Praetorium, Perennis from 182 to 185, Cléandre from 185 to 190, who were both assassinated. Commodus suffocated on the night of December 31, 192.
