This type is one of four, one for each season, each type showing the head of a young child as the personification of the season. The child has been identified by Cohen and others as Annius Verus, who died very young, and was the second son of Marcus Aurelius and younger brother of Commodus. This identification has been disputed by the modern scholar van Heesch. Van Heesch argues that the obverse images for the four seasons represent separate children, each a pure personification of a season, and not the same child or a real child. For whatever it means to the argument, it should be noted that the portraits for three of the seasons have very similar facial features on most specimens, while the portraits for Winter on surviving specimens usually display more delicate features.
