Style rude. Sur cet exemplaire au droit, Faustine jeune ne semble ni porter diadème ou rangs de perles dans les cheveux. En revanche, la chevelure est richement ornementée et la coiffure élaborée. Au revers, superbe allégorie ayant conservé de nombreux détails.

Historical background


FAUSTINA MINOR

(+175)

Augusta

Young Faustina, the daughter of Antoninus and Faustina Mother, was born between 128 and 132. She married Marc Aurèle in 145 and received the title of augusta in 146. She had thirteen children, seven of whom survived childhood. A very important coinage is struck until his death in 175 in Halala at the foot of Mount Taurus in Cappadocia.
