TYPE Roman Empire, Faustina Junior (wife of Marcus Aurelius, 161-180 AD), silver denarius DESCRIPTION . Obv: Bust of Faustina to right, legend: FAVSTINA AVGVSTA Rev: Fecunditas standing, holding child and scepter, legend: FECVNDITAS REFERENCE: SR 1495, RSC 99 GRADING: EF+, rainbow toning, original surfaces w/ radiate strike marks ORDER INFO: R1346, $115 An interesting reverse with Fecunditas, the personification of fertility. Indeed, Faustina bore as many as 13 children, but only one apparently survived to a mature age. This was the future emperor Commodus - possibly not the best of them, as his reign marks the end of Rome's golden era and the beginning of decline.
