Historical background


ANTONINUS PIUS and MARCUS AURELIUS CAESAR

He took his first consulship on January 1, 140 and his second consulship on January 1, 145. He married the daughter of Antoninus, Faustina young. The following year, at the birth of their first child, he received his first tribunician power. In 161, he succeeded his adoptive father.
