[The author’s note in the text] Müller (op.cit., note 1) Anhang No. 358; BMC Antoninus Pius. The minting of these coins in celebration of the 900th anniversary lasted several years, see Ph.V. Hill, The Undated Coins of Rome, London 1970, particularly p. 101. The celebrations probably took place in 148 A.D., see A. Garzetti, From Tiberius to the Antonines, London 1974, p. 701.
