Aurelius Sulpicius
Схоластик
Мне показалось, что нужно переводить "самое позднее 138-й год".
Разве не так?

DIVA FAUSTINA SENIOR, with GALERIUS ANTONINUS. Died 141 and before 138 AD. It is an Æ 28mm and weighs 11.16g. It was struck circa 147 AD at an uncertain mint in Cyprus; style of this provincial issue suggests that its dies must have been cut by engravers of the mint of Rome. The obverse legend is QEA FAV CTEINA, and shows a draped bust of Diva Faustina Senior right, wearing stephane, but no veil . The reverse is not in good condition, but the bust of Galerius Antoninus is clearly visible. The legend is mostly gone, but parts are still legible. In its entirity, it would read M GALEPIOC ANTwNINOC AVTOKPATOPOC ANTwNINOV VIOC, with a bare-headed and draped bust of Galerius Antoninus right.
For attribution see SNG Copenhagen -; Lindgren III 940; Cohen 2 (Galerius and Faustina) var. (veiled and draped bust of Faustina); Walter Niggeler Collection 3 (Leu/Münzen und Medaillen, 2-3 November 1967), lot 1316. Extremely rare variety; the third known example was sold at CNG's Triton IX, Lot: 1481. Closing Date: Monday, 9 January 2006. A fourth sold in January of this year, so that would make this coin number five with the unveiled Faustina. This issue displays the only surviving portrait of Antoninus Pius' son Galerius Antoninus, who died before Pius came to power and whose epitaph from Hadrian's Mausoleum has also come down to us, CIL VI 989.
This issue raises three important questions. The first regards where it was minted. While the general consensus assigns it to a mint in Cyprus, this attribution is tenuous, and Crete, the northern Balkans, and Rome itself have been suggested as equally plausible alternatives. The second question regards its strike date. If the obverse legend for this coin follows the pattern set at Rome, then this coin had to be struck after 147 AD when the DIVA FAVSTINA obverse legend was instituted. The third question then regards the purpose for which this coin was struck. Galerius Antoninus was the natural son of Antoninus Pius and Faustina Senior. When he had died before his father had been made Caesar, Hadrian compelled Antoninus Pius, now without any natural son, to adopt Lucius Verus, the son of Hadrian's previous Caesar, and Marcus Aurelius as his own sons and heirs. In 147 AD Faustina Junior, Antoninus Pius' only surviving child was created Augusta upon her marriage to Marcus Aurelius. In the flurry of issues struck to commemorate this event and the formation of a new dynasty, it is quite possible that this issue was struck to commemorate the young boy's premature death and include him in an as yet uncertain way into the new imperial scheme.
Значит, нумизматы тоже придерживаются мнения о том, что сыны Антонина умерли до тгоо, как он стал императором?
Если правильно помню, в 140-м году умерла Фавстина Старшая.В основном да. Хотя в поисках ответа на вопрос о дате смерти Галеря Антонина я встречал и 140 г. Очень интересное объяснение всех этих содержится в моем предыдущем посте.

Это исходя из фразы в HA "на третьем году правления"?
А вот и нет - скорее Марками:Говорили, но я не подумала, что речь идет о нем.(Они же там все Титами были, как позже - Флавиями?)
