Adopted by his predecessor Hadrian, he secured the succession by in turn adopting Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus. His reign was marked by stability, sound financial management, and a strong emphasis on law and administration rather than military expansion. Known for his sense of duty and piety—reflected in the title “Pius”—he maintained peace across much of the empire and left a prosperous and well-governed state at his death. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eObverse: Bare head of Antoninus Pius facing right, with the legend around. \u003cbr\u003eReverse: A four-tiered funeral pyre, with the legend CONSECRATIO around. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecifications: \u003cbr\u003eEmperor: Marcus Aurelius (Marcus Aurelius Antoninus) (161-180) \u003cbr\u003eComposition: Silver \u003cbr\u003eWeight: Approx. 3 g \u003cbr\u003eDiameter: Approx. 18 mm \u003cbr\u003eMint: Rome","brand":"Colonial Acres Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52643649814817,"sku":"AC-0441","price":112.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/1744\/7457\/files\/AC-0441.jpg?v=1778271812","url":"https:\/\/www.colonialacres.com\/products\/ac-0441-ancient-rome-161-ad-antoninus-pius-posthumous-issue-altar-silver-denarius-vf30","provider":"Colonial Acres Coins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
