Roman Empire. Marcus Aurelius (AD 161-180). Denarius - Aequitas (No reserve price)
Marcus Aurelius, Roman emperor from 161 to 180 AD, is renowned not only for his philosophical work "Meditations" but also for the stability he maintained during tumultuous military conflicts. One of the common coin types of his era was the denarius, a silver coin that circulated widely across the empire. The denarius featuring Aequitas, the personification of fairness and equity, often portrayed her holding scales and a cornucopia, symbolizing justice and abundance. Such coins reflect the Roman emphasis on virtues and the imperial propaganda aiming to project the emperor’s moral authority.
