Commentary


Rubans de type 2. Pour Commode, J.-P. Callu a recensé des pièces de 4, 2 et 1 assaria. Notre pièce, sans marque avec un poids de 12,71 g est bien un tétrassaria. Très peu de monnaies sont répertoriées pour ce règne.

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.
