COMMODUS. 180-192 AD. AR Denarius (18mm, 3.12 gm). Struck 191-192 AD. Bust of Commodus right as Hercules, wearing lion's skin / HERCVLI ROMANO AVG, bow, club and quiver with arrows. RIC III 253; RSC 195. Toned VF, porosity.

Ex Lakeview Collection.

A wonderful coin type that displays Commodus' megalomaniacal obsession and self-identification with the hero Hercules.
