<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 7819856, member: 75937&quot;]Assuming that child is supposed to represent a real member of the Antonine family and not just an attribute of Pietas, that would have to be Domitia Faustina, the first born, on the basis of chronology. Moreover, if that were Lucilla, why wouldn&#039;t her older sister be included?</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a coin depicting the two oldest girls. Lucilla, just a baby, is on the left and Domitia is on the right. You can see a hint of Domitia&#039;s stephane on my coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/antoninus-pius-temporvm-felicitas-sestertius-jpg.1097740/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Antoninus Pius, AD 138-161</p><p>Roman orichalcum sestertius; 22.64 gm, 31.5 mm, 12 h</p><p>Rome, AD 149</p><p>Obv: ANTONINVS AVG PIVS P P TR P XII, laureate bust right, slight drapery on left shoulder</p><p>Rev: TEMPORVM FELICITAS, COS IIII in exergue, S C across field, crossed cornucopiae from which a grape bunch flanked by two grain ears hang, surmounted by confronted busts of two children</p><p>Refs: RIC 857; BMCRE 1827-29; Cohen 813; RCV 4236; Strack 1026; Banti 411.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can see these details better on coins I simply can&#039;t afford or which are in museums.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/antoninus-pius-temporvm-felicitas-aureus-bmc-679-jpg.760773/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>BMCRE 4, p. 97, 679.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/antoninus-pius-temporvm-felicitas-sestertius-bmc-1828-jpg.760774/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>BMCRE 4, p.298, 1828.</p><p><br /></p><p>And this one from a CNG Triton VIII sale:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/antoninus-pius-grandchildren-cng-jpg.760786/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>You&#039;ll notice on these coins, the child on the right wears a stephane and also looks to be about two years old, whereas the child on the left appears to be a newborn.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
