Antoninus Pius - sestertius - RIC 747a, Clive Foss 59a, Van Meter 94/4 (Sear 4185 refers to RIC 746)The celebration of the 900th anniversary of Rome was accompanied with a series of coins struck between 140 - 144 AD. The coins figured scenes from ancient Roman legends, such as the she-wolf and Romulus and Remus. This coin, depicting Italia on the reverse, was part of this series. The turreted crown is the symbol of the sovereignty of the Italian peninsula as a land of free cities and of Roman citizens. The globe perhaps could also refer to the Ptolemaic notion of heavenly spheres, shown by zonal grid-lines superimposed over the globe and stars. The stars and lines can clearly be seen on my example.
