He was one of the FiveGood Emperors in the NervaAntonine dynasty and the Aurelii. Born into a senatorial family, Antoninus held variousoffices during the reign of emperor Hadrian, acquiring favor which saw himadopted as Hadrian's son and successor shortly before Hadrian's death. Heacquired the name Pius after his accession to the throne, either because hecompelled the Senate to deify his adoptive father Hadrian, or because he hadsaved senators sentenced to death by Hadrian in his later years. His reign is notable for the peaceful state of the Empire,with no major revolts or military incursions during this time, and for hisgoverning without ever leaving Italy.

He died of illness in 161 and was succeeded by his adoptedsons Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus as co-emperors.
