A Denarius of emperor M. Aurelius from 176-177 AD relating to the victories of the Romans over the Germanic tribes of the Marcomanni the Quadi and the Sarmatian Iazyges. Roman legions were victors of so-called Marcomannic wars.

The Denarius was a silver coin weighing less than 4 grams. It had been minted as early as during the Roman Republic and gradually became the main silver coin of the Roman state. The Denarius originally contained a high ratio of silver, but its weight and quality were gradually declining. By the 3rd century A. D., it was essentially a copper coin sometimes silver-plated.
