Commentary


Buste à gauche inhabituel, élégant avec une coiffure élaborée, un petit chignon ramené derrière la tête judicieusement ordonné et retenu par un filet de perles. Nous n’avons pas relevé d’identité de coin pertinente.
Unusual bust facing left, elegant with an elaborate hairstyle, a small chignon pulled back behind the head judiciously ordered and held by a net of pearls. We have not noted any relevant coin identity

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.
