[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7936627, member: 115909"]I always used to feel kinda bummed out when I’d see the “Faustina Friday” posts because I didn’t have a Faustina. :( But now I do! ^_^ One thing I love about this Faustina denarius is that if you look [I]really [/I]closely it also has an Emperor on it! Yup that’s little Commodus on the reverse along with his elder brother Titus Aurelius Fulvus Antoninus (who died in 165 AD when Commodus was only 4 years old). Imagine how the history of the Roman Empire would’ve changed if Titus Antoninus had survived. Commodus would never have become Emperor and (if he was anything like his father Marcus Aurelius) Rome might not have began its slow steady decline. Anyway I just wanted to share because I finally got a Faustina. :) [ATTACH=full]1373101[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1373102[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1373040[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1373041[/ATTACH] [B]Faustina Junior (AD 147-175/6).
