Historical context

Antoninus Pius reigned 138-161 CE, his rule remembered as the most peaceful of any Roman emperor. His denarii are dated by tribunician year (TR POT) and consulship (COS), giving collectors precise issue dates within a 23-year reign. The high silver standard maintained under Antoninus represents the last sustained period of Imperial fineness before the third-century crisis.
