<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 3112291, member: 75937&quot;]I love coins of Antonine women and have 44 different coins of Faustina Senior. One of the more interesting types is this architectural issue depicting the temple to Diva Faustina, which was later rededicated to Divus Antoninus and Diva Faustina. Construction was completed about AD 150, which is the date assigned this coin was issued. The shell of the building still survives in the Roman Forum, enclosing the church of S. Lorenzo in Miranda. I wrote a short article about it <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/latest-faustina-senior-is-an-architectural-issue.298655/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/latest-faustina-senior-is-an-architectural-issue.298655/">here</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]789927[/ATTACH]</p><p>Faustina Senior, Augusta AD 138-141.</p><p>Roman AR denarius, 3.27 g, 17.5 mm, 5 h.</p><p>Rome under Antoninus Pius, AD 150.</p><p>Obv: DIVA FAVSTINA, draped bust right.</p><p>Rev: AED DIV FAVSTINAE, hexastyle temple on podium; statues to right and left and seated figure of Faustina in center; statues of Victory at corners of pediment.</p><p>Refs: RIC 343; BMCRE 341; Cohen 1; RCV 4573; CRE 126.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
