Antoninus Pius received his second imperial acclamation, as recorded in this coin's reverse legend (IMPERATOR II), for the victory by his governor in Britannia, Q. Lollius Urbicus, over the Brigantes. It was Urbicus who also constructed the Antonine Wall in Scotland between the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Clyde, which was to be the northernmost frontier barrier of the Roman Empire.
