Commentary


Rubans de type 3. Buste partriculier avec la cuirasse (lorica) formée d’écailles, vu de trois quarte en arrière (B*4). Commode est imberbe alors que normalement, nous commençons à voir des bustes barbus. Ce type particulier est frappé en l’an 21, puis en l’an 24 et 25. Au revers les années régnales sont comptabilisées à partir de son père Marc Aurèle (an 1 = 161).

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.
