While the sun is clearly the sun, it used to be called a wart, however it seems no one mentions the other two orbs. I know nothing about astronomy but I think there's a high chance this is referencing some astronomical event.

"This reverse type is perhaps the most enigmatic of all of Antoninus' coins. The overall image is clearly that of matrimonial harmony, as evidenced both by the legend CONCORDIAE and by the male-female pairings. The difficulty, however, lies in the identification of the figures, particularly the smaller pair. Antoninus Pius is clearly identifiable: he holds the small statue of Concordia. He clasps hands with Faustina Sr. who, in her role as Pietas holds a sceptre; each stands on a low daïs, implying a somewhat elevated, though not quite divine status, as exemplar of marital concord. Of the smaller figures, Mattingly conveniently referred to them as a "man and a maid [who] plight their troth." Yet, in the first years of his reign, Antoninus Pius began to undo the dynastic arrangements established by Hadrian. Lucius Verus, though the son of Hadrian's earlier Caesar, Aelius, and clearly the previous emperor's favorite was delayed in his advancement and his betrothal to Faustina Jr. was soon annulled. In his place, Antoninus appointed Marcus Aurelius Caesar in 139 AD ; the following year, the new Caesar held the consulship for the first time. Now, as the clearly-designated heir-apparent, Marcus was without reservation be betrothed to the emperor's daughter, an event commemorated by our coin, and thus signal a new dynastic arrangement. Since Faustina Jr. was still a child, however, the actual marriage was delayed for five years." - CNG

"The occasion of this fourth largesse is recorded by the Ostian fasti for 145 AD: "Annia Faustina was married to Marcus Aurelius. Antoninus Augustus distributed a largesse of 90 denarii per man".. MS" - Harlan J. Berk Ltd. "Liberality is personified by the image of a woman, holding in one hand a tessera, or square tablet, furnished with a handle on which are cut a certain number of holes. These boards were used to quickly count the proper number of coins or other items for distribution to each person. It appears they would be dipped into a container, covered with coins and the excess swept away back into the container. The proper number of coins would fill the holes and then would be dumped out to the recipient. On coins this symbol indicated the prince had given to the people money, corn, and other articles of consumption. In the other hand she holds a cornucopia, to indicate the abundance of wheat contained in the public graineries. Liberalitas is represented as presiding at all congiaria. The liberalities of the Augusti, by which the distribution of their bounties to the people is signified, were of two kinds, ordinary and extraordinary." - Numiswiki

The style of the portrait makes it seem to be an imitative. [The temple] "It was restored again in the late 150s by Antonius Pius,[1] who was perhaps motivated by a desire to be publicly associated with the first emperor.[9] The exact date of the restoration is not known, but the restored temple is shown on coins of 158 onwards,[10] which depict it with an octastyle design with Corinthian capitals and two statues – presumably of Augustus and Livia – in the cella. The pediment displayed a relief featuring Augustus and was topped by a quadriga. Two figures stood on the eaves of the roof, that on the left representing Romulus and the one on the right depicting Aeneas leading his family out of Troy, alluding to Rome's origin-myth. The steps of the temple were flanked by two statues of Victory.[11]"

Roma Numismatics has this interesting tidbit: "This sestertius is part of a series portraying the provinces and struck for the offering of the "aurum coronarium", tributes donated by the provinces to the emperor upon accession and other special occasions. The practice was inherited from the Greeks who bestowed a gold crown on those deemed worthy of public honours and the tributes demanded by Hellenistic kings over the communities they ruled. Under the Romans, such tributes became statutory taxes and probably took the form of bullion utilised by the mint for striking of coins. The occasion provided a propaganda opportunity for Antoninus, who generously remitted half of the tribute to the provinces and Italy. The series of bronze coins, of which this sestertius is a part, commemorates the thirteen regions who presumably gave tribute and/or benefited from the emperors generosity (see RIC 574-596)."

"The provincial coin issues of Antoninus Pius begin early in his reign, circa AD 139, and represent something of a continuation from the similar series of his predecessor, Hadrian. Unlike Hadrian, Antoninus never left Italy over the 24 years of his reign and never saw the vast majority of the provinces depicted, although he did serve as governor of Asia during his senatorial career. Unlike Hadrian's series, where the provinces are usually shown in a submissive pose, those of Antoninus Pius are often depicted presenting a crown – reflecting the tradition of each provincial government sending to Rome a weighty gold crown upon a new emperor's accession. The provincial sestertii of Antoninus are, as a rule, quite rare and difficult to acquire in pleasing grades." - CNG

Dated to the reign of Fulk IV-Fulk V, some have argued as late as the succeeding Geoffrey V Plantagenet
Fulk V would go on to be a crusader under the Knights Templar and eventually King of Jerusalem from 1131-1143
These people are possibly my Great x28, x27, and x26 Grandfathers respectively.

But what do the stars represent? On 4 May 360, Venus joined Mars to form a single bright object between the horns of Taurus (the Bull) as the constellation set in the western sky. Two weeks earlier, Mars was between the horns, and the brighter planet, Venus, rested on the the bull's shoulder . There can be little doubt that Julian saw this planetary conjunction as an omen for his victory and showed it on his coins“

The reverse script to the right of the right attendant near as I can tell the closest match translates to the Erankhvarrah-Shapur mint. I'm not 100% on this.
The script to the left on the reverse is the regnal year, but I could not match it against the examples on beast coins, which doesn't include every year, but includes several and all the above info which is very helpful with this confusing series.

This coin is propaganda celebrating the conquest of Parthia (modern Iran). On the obverse he is wearing the title PARTH MAX short for PARTHICVS MAXIMVS (meaning the Greatest victor over the Parthians). Note he is also wearing the title ARM short for ARMENICVS (meaning Victor over the Armenians), as in 163 AD they had captured Artaxata, the capital of Armenia. Marcus Aurelius decided to not take the ARM title as he had nothing to do with it.

"The Decapolis (Greek: Δεκάπολις Dekápolis, Ten Cities) was a group of ten cities on the eastern frontier of the Roman Empire in the southeastern Levant. The cities were grouped together because of their language, culture, location, and political status, with each functioning as an autonomous city-state. Though sometimes described as a "league" of cities, it is now believed that they were never formally organized as a political unit. The Decapolis was a center of Greek and Roman culture in a region which was otherwise ancient Semitic-speaking peoples (Nabataeans, Arameans, and Judeans). In the time of the Emperor Trajan, the cities were placed into the provinces of Syria and Arabia Petraea; after a later reorganization several cities were placed in Syria Palaestina and later Palaestina Secunda. Most of the Decapolis region is located in modern-day Jordan, but Damascus is in Syria and Hippos and Scythopolis are in Israel."

Arranged around its base were additional arms and sometimes bound captives. Here, in place of the additional arms and/or captives the trophy sits on the beak (rostrum) of an enemy warship with a rudder and anchor at its base.
This denarius was part of a series of aurei and denarii that were struck between the autumn of 30 BC and 29 BC and which conveyed a general message of victory and re-foundation.
Sear associated this denarius with a contemporary aureus showing on its reverse a similar trophy housed in a tetrastyle temple decorated with a triskeles in its pediment. The obverse of that coin, a bust of Diana Siciliensis, led him to argue that the aureus commemorated Octavian's important victory over Sextus Pompey at the Battle of Naulochus in 36 BC.
The reverse of this denarius, however, does not specify a particular victor. The most likely possibility is that it commemorates Agrippa's victory over Antony and Cleopatra at Actium the previous September, the final triumph for Octavian, the undisputed master of the Roman Empire."
