Faustina the Younger was the daughter of Emperor Antoninus Pius and Empress Faustina the Elder, born into one of the most respected imperial families of the Roman Empire. She married her maternal cousin, Marcus Aurelius, and served as Roman Empress throughout his reign, providing vital support both privately and publicly during a period marked by wars and plagues.

Highly esteemed by Roman soldiers and adored by her husband, Faustina accompanied Marcus Aurelius on his military campaigns and was frequently honored with public titles and coinage during her lifetime. After her death around 175 AD, she was deified, and new coins were issued in her honor, bearing inscriptions proclaiming her divine status.
