Denarius
Antoninus Pius 143-144 AD
Titus Aurelius Fulvus Boionius Arrius Antoninus (19 September 86 - 7 March 161), commonly known as Antoninus or Antoninus Pius , was Roman Emperor from 138 to 161. He was a member of the Nerva-Antonine dynasty and the Aurelii. He did not possess the sobriquet "Pius" until after his accession to the throne. Almost certainly, he earned the name "Pius" because he compelled the Senate to deify his adoptive father Hadrian; the Historia Augusta, however, suggests that he may have earned the name by saving senators sentenced to death by Hadrian in his later years.
