Ancient Rome 165AD Rev. Annona S 4920 Marcus Aurelius Silver Denarius Uncirculated (MS-60)
Marcus Aurelius was Roman emperor from 161 to 180 AD and is best known as a philosopher-king who ruled during the height of the Roman Empire. A dedicated practitioner of Stoicism, his personal writings, later published as Meditations, remain a cornerstone of ancient philosophy and offer insight into his thoughtful, disciplined approach to leadership. His reign was marked by military conflict, including wars along the empire’s northern borders, yet he strove to govern with wisdom, justice, and duty. Often regarded as the last of the "Five Good Emperors," Marcus Aurelius left a legacy of intellectual depth and moral integrity, even as his death ushered in the troubled rule of his son Commodus.
Obverse: Laureate head of Marcus Aurelius facing right, with the legend around.
Reverse: Annona, draped, standing facing left, emptying a cornucopiae into a modius with both hands, with the legend around.
