Medallions are normally larger than regular coins and were struck for special occasions. They were probably given as presents at the New Year or were presented as marks of honour to officials, soldiers or even rulers outside of the Roman Empire. Antoninus Pius did issue a famous series of medallions celebrating the nine hundredth anniversary of Rome. These pieces showed scenes from Roman mythology - this particular specimen shows the Capitoline Triad of Jupiter, Minerva and Juno, worshipped in Rome's oldest temple on the Capitoline Hill. How this medallion came to Britain is a mystery; it might have been presented to a senior soldier or official. Cleaned and consolidated by Brigid Gallagher - Lab. no 06/126. Some edge damage.
