The depiction of Ceres and Proserpina with the legend LAETITIA creates a powerful message linking agricultural abundance with public joy and prosperity. Laetitia personified happiness and rejoicing, often associated with good harvests, peace, and general well-being under imperial rule. By combining Ceres and Proserpina (who both helped ensure the grain supply that fed the empire) with Laetitia, the coin celebrates successful harvests and the contentment of the Roman people under Antoninus Pius's reign. This was particularly significant as maintaining adequate food supplies, especially grain from Egypt and North Africa, was crucial to preventing unrest and maintaining public loyalty. The message conveyed is that under this emperor's wise governance, the people enjoyed both material abundance and genuine happiness.
