Marcus Aurelius, 7 March 161 - 17 March 180 A.D.
|Marcus| |Aurelius|, |Marcus| |Aurelius,| |7| |March| |161| |-| |17| |March| |180| |A.D.|, References generally, and in this case, do not differentiate between a laureate, draped and cuirassed bust seen from behind and, the much rarer, bust seen from the front. Although we do not identify this as a variety of the RIC III, RSC II, and SRCV II listings, this is not the common bust they intend to describe. BMCRE IV does not describe the bust as from behind but the bust on the plate coin is seen from behind.
