References
Marcus Aurelius: Roman Emperor (161-180 AD). Last of the 'Five Good Emperors' and described as the 'Philosopher KIng'. His death in 180 AD is considered to mark the end of the 'Pax Romana' (golden period of peace and stability in the Roman Empire).

The sestertius was the large brass denomination of the Roman imperial coinage, usually weighing around 25–28 grams and measuring 30–35 mm in diameter. Its broad flan gave engravers ample space for some of the finest imperial portraits and most elaborate reverse designs in Roman numismatics.
