The 158AD-159AD Denarius - Antoninus Pius / StandingSilver Denarius of Emperor Antoninus Pius, minted at the Rome Mint in 158AD or 159AD. Diameter 17mm, weighs 3.16g.
Dating: "COS IIII" shows Antoninus Pius was Consul for the fourth (and last) time, which happened on 1 Jan 145AD. Although this coin has no other dating evidence, other coins that have the same reverse have the legend "TR POT XXII" which indicates the series would have been minted when Pius held the Tribunician Powers for the twenty second time which was 158-159AD.
The Obverse shows the laureated head of Emperor Antoninus Pius facing right. Legend is "ANTONINVS AVG PIVS P P".
The Reverse shows the Emperor standing left, sacrificing from a patera (a shallow libation bowl) above a tripod. Legend around is "VOTA SVSCEP DECENN III" with "[COS] IIII" in exergue.Image credit: Museums Victoria
