The Roman bronze As of the late 2nd century AD represents a fascinating chapter in the long history of Roman imperial coinage, a denomination whose origins stretched back to the earliest days of the Roman monetary system and whose continued production under the emperors of the Antonine and Severan dynasties reflected the practical needs of everyday commerce. This Roman Empire Commodus AE As earned an Extremely Fine grade from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), with a strong 4/5 grade for its strike. Today, Roman Empire Commodus AE As Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The bronze As coins struck during the reign of Commodus from 177 to 192 AD were produced during one of the most controversial and dramatically eventful reigns in the entire history of the Roman Empire, a period during which the emperor’s increasingly erratic behavior, his identification with the demigod Hercules, and his neglect of imperial administration in favor of personal obsessions created a crisis of legitimacy that ultimately ended in his assassination on the last day of 192 AD.
This Roman Empire Commodus AE As Coin is in Extremely Fine condition with sharp bronze details in the design, earning it a 4/5 strike grade for its detailed, well-centered visuals. The 2/5 surface grade indicates a specimen with heavier wear and toning throughout.
For the obverse of Commodus AE As Coins, the specimens in this series feature a laureate portrait of the emperor on the obverse rendered with the increasingly idealized and heroic qualities that Commodus demanded of his official imagery as his reign progressed, his features presented with the formal imperial dignity of the Roman portrait tradition. In the reverse design of Roman Empire Commodus AE As, the field carries a simple design from this time period. While many coins during this era featured imperial virtues such as Providentia, Fortuna, or Liberalitas, this design depicts a simple club within a wreath.
