Barnes took it to be that of Faustina II, first Verus&#039;s and then Marcus&#039;s fiancée. She may, rather, be Faustina I. If the monument dates after her deification, her presence is explicable as a gracious tribute; earlier than that her political importance comes into play as the link between Pius and his new heir, her nephew Marcus.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
