Your
sestertius is of Marcus Aurelius, 161-180 A.D. I can't make out any
of the legends nor can I be certain which allegorical personification
is on the reverse, although I'd make a guess at Pietas standing before
a short, lighted altar and holding incense box. Withouth the details
a clear reading of the obverse legend would afford, I can't zero-in
on the exact time-frame. It's too bad, too, because usually these have
a "laundry list" of titles which will allow them to be dated
to within a year or two.
