Comment on Thorvaldsen's Small Silver Head - A Ruined Tondo Portrait

[The author’s note in the text] The best treatment of Antoninus Pius’ coinage is in P.L. Strack, Untersuchung zur römischen Reichsprägung des zweiten Jahrhunderts III, ‘Die Reichprägung zur Zeit des Antoninus Pius’, Stuttgart 1937; see also H. Mattingly, Coins of the Roman Empire in the British Museum IV, ‘Antoninus Pius to Commodus’ (= BMC, Antoninus Pius — Commodus), London 1940 (rev. reprint 1968). There are excellent pictures in J.P.C. Kent – M. and A. Hirmer, Roman Coins, London 1978, figs. 302ff.
