Ex CNG 46, 24 June 1998, lot 1113.As suggested by Mommsen, the occasion for the restoration of this coin type was probably the decision by the emperors to recall all of the legionary denarii of Mark Antony that were still in circulation and to use the recovered silver to strike a higher number of lighter and less fine current denarii. But since people were used to seeing the occasional legionary denarius of Antony in circulation, Marcus and Verus restored the type, adding their own names and REST to the reverse legend. EF
