Boldly struck with the portrait in high relief. Extremely Fine. Overlooking the BM specimen, Mattingly and Sydenham omitted this type when compiling RIC II, which was published in 1926. Four specimens were amongst the coins in the massive 1929 Réka-Devnia Hoard, and perhaps it is for this reason that it was 'rediscovered' by both Strack in his study of Hadrian (1933) and Mattingly in BMC (1936). The type was marginally more common by number of specimens relative to several other types found in Réka-Devnia; however, it remains an elusive rarity for today's specialist of Hadrian's coinage.

Reverse: MVNIFICENTIA AVG, COS IIII/S C in two lines in exergue, armored elephant advancing right. RIC 862a. Well struck on a nice full broad flan, Lovely hard dark green patina. Superb Extremely Fine. The Romans' first experience with elephants was during the Pyrrhic Wars (280-275 BC) against the combined forces of Tarentum and those of Pyrrhus of Epirus. Other than the initial shock and confusion elephants caused to the opposing forces experiencing them for the first time during battle, their military value was largely negligent. In fact, according to numerous ancient sources, they often proved dangerous to the side having them; elephants could be turned by archers and peltasts, as once feeling the sting of dozens of arrows and sling bullets the animals would turn and run amok, rampaging through their own lines causing more harm to their own troops than they ever did to the enemy. This coin whose reverse depicts an armored elephant majestically marching in procession commemorates the benevolence of the emperor, whose role as provider of public spectacles (munera) is captured by the reverse legend, MVNIFICENTIA AVG. While the year this coin was struck, AD 148-149, could have been celebrated as a Roman centenary in which the primary events would have been the centennial games, or ludes saeculares, it seems that Pius did not host them. Instead, he celebrated his decennalia, his tenth year anniversary on the throne. Presumably, the armored elephant depicted here formed part of the military parade through the streets of Rome that would have occurred during Pius' decannalian celebrations.

After the death of the Gordiani, The Senate nominated two of their own, Balbinus and Pupienus, as joint emperors to oppose Maximinus I who was then quickly marching towards Italy at the head of his legions from the Balkans. Pupienus had risen through the ranks of the military before becoming a senator and was thus the natural choice to lead the defense in northern Italy, while Balbinus stayed behind in Rome to shore up support there. When Maximinus' troops arrived before Aquileia, lack of provisions caused them to munity. They murdered the emperor and his son and paraded their disembodied heads on lances which they carried to Rome. Although Maximinus was now out of the way, the city of Rome remained in a state of turnoil. The joint emperors, being wealthy patricians, were not well like by the inhabitiants who forced the Senate to nominade as Caesar the grandson and nephew of the Gordiani, Gordian III. Despite this attempt at appeasement, the people were in open revolt. Fire had been set to Rome, causing much devastation and making many homeless. To make matters worse, the co-emperors were mutually suspicious of one another. In the ensuing disorder, the Praetorian Guard broke into the place and murdered both emperors, elevating the young Gordian III as the new emperor.
