Commentary
Un seul ruban visible à l’exrémité bifide. Au droit, l’empereur porte le titre (Eusèbe = le pieux) à partir de l’an 24 soit 183-184. Ce type semble plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
A single ribbon visible at the bifid extremity. On the right, the emperor bears the title (Eusebius = the pious) from the year 24, i.e. 183-184. This type seems rarer than general works 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.
