The fourth volume of the catalogue of ancient coins in the collections of the Ossolinski National Institute registers the coins of Antoninus Pius and his family: his wife Faustina the Elder, his son Marcus Aurelius, and his daughter Faustina the Younger. The reign of Antoninus Pius (138-161) and his successor Marcus Aurelius (161-180) was a period - initiated by Trajan and Hadrian - of political stabilization and economic growth of the Roman Empire which in the 2nd century reached the height of its grandeur. The principles of that reign, called the golden age or the age of the Antonines, are best characterized by the personification of Aequitas, Felicitas, and Fides that were often placed on the issues of silver and bronze coins. The intense political and economic expansion in the 2nd century brought with it the widening of Rome's borders and influences northwards and to the territories beyond the Danube, reaching as far as the present-day Slovakia. The contacts with the peoples inhabiting those areas resulted in an influx of Roman currency beyond the limes of the Roman Empire, including the territory of the old and contemporary Poland. This process is reflected by numerous hoards and lesser finds that constitute the major source of 2nd century coins, especially those minted during the reign of Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius. That explains why in many Polish collections the coins (among which there is a preponderance of silver denarii) date from the times of those emperors and constitute the most numerous group. The structure of the Ossolineum collection is a typical illustration of this phenomenon. Coins registered in the present volume, 558 in all, form the biggest group in the collection of Roman coins.
