Antoninus Pius (AD 138-161). AV aureus (18mm, 7.23 gm, 5h). NGC Choice XF 5/5 - 3/5, marks. Rome, AD 158-159. ANTONINVS AVG-PIVS P P TR P XXII, laureate head of Antoninus Pius right / TEMPL DIVI-AVG REST, octastyle temple set on podium with three steps; seated facing statues of Divus Augustus and Livia within, acroteria of Romulus on left and Aeneas carrying Anchises on right, roof surmounted by quadriga, standing figure between two reclining figures in pediment. RIC III 289. Calicó 1624. High relief portrait and finely detailed reverse solidly struck on satiny surfaces. Extremely rare - no examples in sales archives.
The second Temple of Divus Augustus was destroyed during the great fire of AD 80. Its precise location is not known, but may have been between the Capitoline and Palatine Hills. The temple was later rebuilt or restored, thus the legend on the reverse of this attractive aureus type, showing the decorated building in its new glory.
