Ancient Rome 147-175/6AD Rev. Fecunditas S 5252 Faustina Jr Silver Denarius AU-UNC (AU-55)
Annia Galeria Faustina the Younger was Roman Empress from 161 as the wife of her cousin Marcus Aurelius to her death in 175/76. Faustina was the youngest child of Emperor Antoninus Pius (86-161AD) and Empress Faustina the Elder (c. 100-140AD). Faustina obtained the title of Augusta following the birth of her first child in 147AD, before her husband became Augustus himself in 161. Faustina is accused of instigating a revolt led by Avidius Cassius against her husband in 175. Upon her death, Faustina was deified, her statue was placed in the Temple of Venus in Rome, and a temple was dedicated to her in her honour.
