Assuming it's a bronze sestertius, it's Antoninus Pius with Fides (the deification of good faith and honesty), AD139. Obverse: IMP T AEL CAES HADR ANTONINVS AVG PIVS, laureate head right. Reverse: PM TR P COS II, Fides standing right, holding corn-ears and dish of fruit. RIC 530B http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.3.ant.530B Nice coin, by the way. It's interesting as it shows Antoninus Pius as 'Caesar' to Hadrian, even though Hadrian was already dead. This is because Antoninus Pius struggled to get the senate to deify Hadrian and threatened to abdicate until they relented. Edited by JohnConduitt 12/29/2021 10:40 am Report this Post to the Staff
