[QUOTE="Bart9349, post: 3671410, member: 5682"]Nice coins. I appreciate those coins that force me to review the less famous emperors and empresses. [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faustina_the_Younger[/URL] I am always fascinated and confused by Faustina's fling with Syrian legate Avidius Cassius after hearing false rumors of her husband Marcus Aurelius' death (AD 175). It was bad timing for Avidius Cassius to revolt since Aurelius wasn't dead after all. Cassius didn't last long. [URL]http://www.thathistorynerd.com/2017/03/oops-i-started-civil-war.html[/URL] I have nothing to add but my lowly (but cherished) tetradrachms of Ms. Faustina the Younger (pictures not mine, however): [ATTACH=full]986774[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]986775[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]986767[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]986768[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]986764[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]986765[/ATTACH] g.[/QUOTE]
