Commodus as Hercules

Artemide LXV

Lot # 349 - Commodus (177-193). AR Denarius, Rome mint, 191-192. D/ L AEL AVREL COMM AVG P FEL. Head of Commodus right, wearing lion-skin. R/ HERCVL ROMAN AVGV.

Disdaining the more philosophic inclinations of his father, Commodus was extremely proud of his physical prowess. He ordered many statues to be made showing him dressed as Hercules with a lion's hide and a club. He thought of himself as the reincarnation of Hercules, frequently emulating the legendary hero's feats by appearing in the arena to fight a variety of wild animals. Moreover, as Hercules, he could claim to be the son of Jupiter, the supreme god of the Roman pantheon. These tendencies increased to megalomaniacal proportions.
