Ancient Rome 175-6AD Rev Commodus & Trophy S 5547 Commodus as Caesar Silver Denarius EF-AU (EF-45)
Lucius Aurelius Commodus was Roman Emperor from 180 to 192 AD and the son of Marcus Aurelius. Unlike his father, Commodus is remembered for his erratic behavior, self-indulgence, and authoritarian rule. He styled himself as a living god and frequently participated in gladiatorial games, even portraying himself as Hercules. His reign marked the beginning of Rome’s imperial decline, characterized by political instability and growing corruption. Assassinated in 192 AD as part of a conspiracy, Commodus left behind a controversial legacy as a ruler whose actions starkly contrasted with the philosophical and principled leadership of his father.
Obverse: Bare head of Commodus facing right, legend around.
Reverse: Commodus, standing facing left, a branch in his right hand and a sceptre in his left, with a trophy at his right with arms at its base.

Emperor: Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (161-180)
