<p>[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 7360636, member: 75937"]As for coins issued after the birth of Commodus and his twin brother, Titus Aurelius Fulvius Antoninus 31 August 161, this coin type (so Szaivert, p. 230) was issued in AD 162 to commemorate the birth of M. Annius Verus in the late part of that year. </p><p><br /></p><p>Note the empress wears her hair in a later style (Szaivert's hairstyle 'b', p. 40) from that on the IVNONI LVCINAE issues of the OP. Note the hair is wavier and the chignon is placed lower on the back of the head, near the nape of the neck. With this coiffure, the empress usually wears one or two strands of pearls or the stephane in her hair, though bare-headed variants exist. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1282881[/ATTACH] </p><p>Faustina II, AD 147-175.</p><p>Roman AR denarius, 3.20 g, 17.4 mm, 11 h.</p><p>Rome, AD 162.</p><p>Obv: FAVSTINA AVGVSTA, draped bust of Faustina, right, wearing double strand of pearls.</p><p>Rev: FECVNDITAS SC, (Faustina as) Fecunditas standing right, holding scepter and infant.</p><p>Refs: RIC 677; BMCRE 91-95; Cohen 99; RCV 5252; CRE 176.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/faustina-jr-fecvnditas-sestertius-jpg.1112763/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Faustina Jr, Augusta 147-176</p><p>Roman orichalcum sestertius, 21.28 g, 31.9 mm, 5 h.</p><p>Rome, AD 162.</p><p>Obv: FAVSTINA AVGVSTA, draped bust of Faustina, right, wearing strand of pearls.</p><p>Rev: FECVNDITAS SC, (Faustina as) Fecunditas standing right, holding scepter and infant.</p><p>Refs: RIC 1638; BMCRE 905; Cohen 101; RCV 5274.</p><p><br /></p><p>Moreover, the LAETITIA and HILARITAS types featuring this hairstyle may have been issued to honor the occasion as well (Szaivert, ibid).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/faustina-jr-laetitia-standing-denarius-jpg.833827/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Faustina II, AD 147-175.</p><p>Roman AR denarius, 2.60 g, 17 mm, 7 h.</p><p>Rome, AD 161-164.</p><p>Obv: FAVSTINA AVGVSTA, draped bust right, wearing a double strand of pearls.</p><p>Rev: LAETITIA, Laetitia standing facing, head left, holding wreath and scepter.</p><p>Refs: RIC 700; BMCRE --; Cohen 147; RCV 5258 var; CRE 197.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/faustina-jr-laetitia-s-c-standing-sestertius-jpg.1122701/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Faustina II, AD 147-175.</p><p>Roman orichalcum sestertius, 24.87 g, 32.5 mm, 11 h.</p><p>Rome, AD 161-164.</p><p>Obv: FAVSTINA AVGVSTA, draped bust of Faustina II, right, with a double strand of pearls in the hair.</p><p>Rev: LAETITIA S C, Laetitia standing facing, head left, holding wreath in right hand and vertical scepter in left hand.</p><p>Refs: RIC 1654; BMCRE 924-27; Cohen 149; RCV 5279; MIR 21-6/10b.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/faustina-jr-hilaritas-denarius-jpg.1265124/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Faustina II, AD 147-175.</p><p>Roman AR denarius, 3.40 g, 17.4 mm, 5 h.</p><p>Rome, AD 161-164.</p><p>Obv: FAVSTINA AVGVSTA, bare-headed bust of Faustina II, draped, right.</p><p>Rev: HILARITAS, Hilaritas standing left, holding long palm-branch in right hand and cornucopia in left hand.</p><p>Refs: RIC 686; BMCRE 100; RSC 111; RCV 5254; CRE 182.</p><p><br /></p><p>She had only two children after this, Hadrianus, the youngest son, born about AD 165 or 166, and Vibia Aurelia Sabina, born AD 170.
