ls127 - Sylloge Nummorum Romanorum - Italia - Monetiere del Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Firenze - Volume VIII M. Aurelius - L. Verus - Commodus DE NICOLA Antonia

The period under consideration is particularly interesting, as it covers a crucial phase in Roman history: namely, the end of succession through the system of adopted emperors and the return to direct dynastic succession.
This would mark the beginning of Rome’s true decline; having reached its zenith (not only militarily) under Marcus Aurelius, it would begin its slow decline under Commodus.

Il periodo preso in esame è decisamente interessante, in quanto tratta una fase fondamentale della storia romana, ovvero la fine della modalità di successione tramite il sistema degli Imperatori di adozione e la ripresa dinastica diretta.
Ciò determinerà l’inizio del vero decadimento di Roma, che con Marco Aurelio aveva visto il suo massimo splendore (non solo militare), ma che con Commodo inizierà il suo lento declino.

The current period is definitely interesting, as it is a fundamental phase of the Roman story, it is the end of the succession process that follows the system of adoption and the direct dynamic response. To determine the beginning of the future of Rome's decadence, it was with Marco Aurelio that I saw its great splendor (non-military), but I started with the Commodo in its slow decline.
