Abstract: During the reign of Emperor Antoninus Pius (following the city’s issue of pseudo-autonomous coins), Pautalia’s mint issued its first provincial coins whose obverse dies depict a portrait of the Roman emperor. In Pautalia, coins for Emperor Antoninus Pius were issued in three phases: 139 – 144 AD, 157 – 158 AD, and 160 – 161 AD. On December 5th, 139 AD, eighteen-year-old Marcus Aurelius received the title of Caesar. In the period up until March 7th, 161 AD (his inauguration), Pautalia’s mint issued coins for the young Caesar in two stages: 139 – 144 AD and 157 – 158 AD. Key words: Pautalia, Pautaliaʼs coins, Antoninus Pius, Caesar Marcus Aurelius Антонин
