Summary

Description

Marcus Aurelius. AD 161-180.

M ANTONINVS AVG GERM SARM TR P XXXI, laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right

Near EF, green-brown patina. Exceptional reverse detail; rare.
This reverse type commemorates the victories of Marcus Aurelius over the Germanic tribes along the Danube frontier in the early 170s AD. Unlike many emperors who took credit for the campaigns of their generals, in this campaign Marcus personally led his legions. Aurelius also wrote his famous "Meditations" during this time along the frontier.
