Commentary
Portrait avec chignon et une chevelure très élaborée pour Faustine jeune. C’est l’une des premières émissions pour Faustine jeune. D. Sear date ce type des années 148-152. Au revers, l’association de Vénus et du gouvernail est plutôt rare, mais doit rappeler le rôle que tient la Fortune dans les destinées de l’Empire et la naissance souhaitée d’une nombreuse progéniture pour la fille de l’empereur et Marc Aurèle.

Historical background
