HJD163s SESTERTIUS: shield, spears, trumpets, SCARCE VF 


Commodus, Æ Sestertius, IMP L AVREL COMMODVS AVG GERM SARM, Laureate and draped bust of Commodus, facing right. / TR P II COS P P S C, Pile of military arms (cuirass, shield, spears, and trumpets), DE SARMATIS in the exergue. Struck 177 A.D., and portrays Commodus after he received the title of Sarmaticus, following a victory on the frontier. VF, scarce type! RCV 5742, RIC III 1577 (Scarce), BMC IV 1664, (17.2 gm.). From my personal collection.

Lucius Aurelius Commodus succeeded his father, Marcus Aurelius, as Rome's Emperor when he was only 19. Aurelius tried to prepare his son for rule, by having him serve as his co-Emperor, starting in 177, but his death in 180, apparently left the job unfinished. Living under Commodus, who eventually became insane, became intolerable for Rome's enemies, its soldiers, and citizens - even members of the Senate. He planned to ring in the New Year in 193 by parading as a gladiator, but his enemies had had enough, and assassinated him the night before.
