Tarsus struck a fairly extensive series of coins in honour of the two sons of Marcus Aurelius, this one, with very youthful busts, each with abundant, curly hair, and a second issue, usually with a star between the busts, along with the caduceus and club, and with somewhat older, larger busts and shorter, more closely cropped hair.
