Antoninus Pius, August 138 - 7 March 161 A.D.
|Antoninus| |Pius|, |Antoninus| |Pius,| |August| |138| |-| |7| |March| |161| |A.D.|, This type has two reverse variants. Some dies had the cornucopia rotated with the tip away from Honos (FORVM 21590, BMC III 1683) while other dies, such as the one this coin was struck with, have a normal design. RIC does not make the distinction.

Honos was the god of chivalry, honor and military justice. He was usually depicted in art with a spear and a cornucopia. He was sometimes identified with Virtus.
