<p>[QUOTE=&quot;furryfrog02, post: 4678230, member: 41219&quot;]With the world currently engulfed in the Covid-19 pandemic, hygiene is more important than ever. Hygieia is the Greek goddess of health, cleanliness, and hygiene. She was the daughter of the god of medicine, Asclepius, and along with her 4 sisters Panacea, Iaso, Aceso, and Aglaia, played an important part in her father&#039;s cult making sure everyone stayed clean and healthy.</p><p><br /></p><p>While her father and other sisters focused more on the healing process, Hygieia was associated with the prevention of sickness and maintaining good health. The word &quot;hygiene&quot; is derived from her name.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Romans identified her with the ancient Italian goddess Salus, the goddess of social welfare.</p><p><br /></p><p>In 2020, I can&#039;t think of a more important god or goddess. </p><p><br /></p><p>Feel free to post your coins with Hygieia, her father Asclepius, or any of her sisters (I&#039;m not sure if there are any but I&#039;d like to see them if there are!)</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the best identification I can make for this coin since I was only able to find one possible die match on vcoins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Faustina II</p><p>AE, 6.12g</p><p>161-175/6 AD</p><p>Thrace, Pautalia</p><p>Obverse: ΦΑΥϹΤΕΙΝΑ ϹΕΒΑϹΤΗ, draped bust right</p><p>Reverse: ΟVΛΠΙΑϹ ΠΑVΤΑΛΙΑϹ.
