Scenes in which the emperor makes public distributions to citizens, a ceremony known as a congiarium, first appear on coinage at this time. Since the donativum, in which gifts were made to the army, become popular later, in the mid-2nd century the donation scenes are usually identified as Liberalitas types rather than congiarium types.
