     Diva Faustina Sr., wife of Antoninus Pius. Died 141 AD. AR
     Denarius (3.73 gm). Draped bust right / Aeternitas standing left,
     holding globe and scepter. RIC III 350a (Antoninus); RSC 34. Good
     VF, light scratch on obverse. 715019.

     Later Roman historians chided Faustina Senior for an allegedly
     frivolous nature, in contrast with the grave dignity of her
     husband Antoninus. However, it was common practice for Roman
     historians to ennoble great men by deriding the character of
     their wives. Antoninus, in any case, seems to have greatly loved
     and sincerely mourned his wife, whom he deified after her death
     in 141 AD, and honored her with the most extensive coinage yet
     seen for a Roman Empress.

     Authenticity unconditionally guaranteed - 14 day return privilege
                              for any reason.

     CNG accepts for payment: check, money order or credit card (Visa,
      MasterCard, American Express). The manner of payment accepted is
                subject to our qualification of the bidder.

        CNG's Domestic, Canadian, and International postage rates.

         Pennsylvania residents please add appropriate sales tax.
