VF, scarce! RIC III (Marcus Aurelius) 609 (Scarce), RSC 93a, BMC IV (Marcus Aurelius) 643, (3.1 gm.). Struck after September, 175 A.D., following a decisive victory that month, and portrays Commodus at age 14, after he received the title of Sarmaticus. According to RIC, Commodus received the toga virilis, July 7, 175 A.D., on the occasion of a Congiarium (Liberalitas VI), and shortly afterwards he was given a military command on the frontier in consequence of renewed hostilities by the Iazyges. A decisive victory is recorded about September which was followed by the eighth Salutatio, and a little later by the assumption of the title Sarmaticus. In December Commodus was granted the Tribunicia potestas, and shortly afterwards Aurelius set out on an expedition to the East with a view to settling affairs after the rebellion. On this journey he was accompanied by Faustina and Commodus, but the Empress was seized by a fatal illness and died at Halala near Mount Taurus. NOTE TO BIDDERS: This coin is from a collection of Commodus that I put together for myself, and most coins in the collection are of better quality (nice grade, centering, etc.) than what is available elsewhere these days. Many of them are interesting or scarcer types, and there are no duplicates, so this is a good opportunity for the serious collector of Roman denarii to buy something nice, at a reasonable price. NOTE TO BIDDERS: For those who have ‘’watched’’ this coin listed and re-listed, over and over again, waiting for the lowest possible price, you can stop waiting. If you want to add this nice coin to your collection, NOW is the time to stop watching, and bid, because this is the LAST time I plan to list this coin, and this reduced starting price is the least amount I will accept for it.
