Help ID Ant Pius Dupondius

Not only I do not manage to identify this dipondius of Antoninus but
also I am intrigued by this little angel behind the sitted woman.

Hi Tanit,

Your coin is RIC III : 897 struck at Rome c.A.D.151 - 152 and rated as scarce.
The seated "woman" is Antoninus Pius seated facing left on a curule chair, holding globe and being crowned by Victory flying behind him. The reverse legend should read TR POT XV COS IIII with S C in exergue.
The obverse legend would be IMP CAES T AEL HADR ANTONINVS AVG PIVS P P.

Alex.

Thank you very much, Alex

I forgot that the Roman emperors did not wear suits... ;D
