Antoninus Pius, August 138 - 7 March 161 A.D., Dionysopolis, Moesia Inferior
|Dionysopolis|, |Antoninus| |Pius,| |August| |138| |-| |7| |March| |161| |A.D.,| |Dionysopolis,| |Moesia| |Inferior|, Dionysopolis was founded by Thracians and later colonized by Ionians who named it Krounoi. The city was renamed Dionysopolis during the second half of the 3rd century B.C., after a statue of Dionysus was found in the sea nearby. Most of the types from Dionysopolis are scarce or rare. Today it is Balchik, Bulgaria, a Black Sea seaside resort town.
