Antoninus Pius, Roman Emperor from 138 to 161 AD, is remembered for his peaceful and prosperous reign. After being adopted by Emperor Hadrian, he ascended the throne and was later defied as “Divus Antoninus Pius.” His rule emphasised stability, legal reform, and infrastructure development. Antoninus focused on consolidating the empire rather than expanding it, maintaining peace through diplomacy and efficient governance. He improved judicial systems, enacted policies for social welfare, and commissioned extensive building projects. His era, often seen as a golden age, was marked by economic prosperity and relative tranquillity, making him one of Rome’s most revered and respected emperors. We are offering a small group of Divus Antoninus denarii, struck posthumously by Marcus Auerliues to honour the reign of Antoninus. The coins have the bare bust of Antoninus on the obverse and on the reverse either an altar or an eagle sat on an altar. They come in Good fine grade.
