<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 7506017, member: 75937&quot;]Szaivert (MIR 18, pp. 230-231) dates the SALVS issues of Faustina II to a period of uncertain length beginning in AD 165. He notes that the end of this phase is currently uncertain, but suggests a possible break in the issuing of coins for Faustina in the late 160s. The fact that no reverses struck for Faustina which appear to celebrate the elevation of her sons, Commodus and Annius Verus, to the rank of Caesar in 166, or the birth of a last daughter in 169, suggests that the issuing of coins for Faustina did not resume until possibly 170, when coins depicting her in her final hairstyle appear.</p><p><br /></p><p>So your Faustina coin was issued right around the start of the Marcomannic wars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
