The coins of the Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius struck in the mid-2nd century AD are very popular among collectors because they practically very often appear in all their denominations, and the numismatic trade offers a large scale of all coin types of this ruler. Also the personality of this Emperor representing the ‘Golden Age’ of the Roman Empire is extraordinary. There were no destructive wars during his 23-year-long rule, and the Roman Empire was economically significantly flourishing because of the political peace times. This should change in time of his successor and son-in-law, a successful warrior and ‘philosopher on throne’ – Marcus Aurelius.
