    Antoninus Pius is one of the good emperors and one of my favorites. Nice find

    Randy: The link shows a Vota Suscepta coin not an Opsequens. The altar on the OP coin strikes me as more likely a match for the Vota type but I can't read the legend to be sure. Opsequens coins have a prow with upright structures (or fireworks???) rather than an altar:
