echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 01/17/2012 9:12 pm JW posted some coins of Faustina I earlier today, so here is one of her daughter Faustina II. This is a provincial from Philippopolis and is Moushmov #5163 and depicts Artemis standing left holding ears of corn and a torch. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 01/18/2012 12:45 pm Nice denarius, she was a beautiful woman but not of very good character. She was an unfaithful wife and was involved in an unsuccesful revolt which caused her to commit suicide. Report this Post to the Staff
Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 01/18/2012 12:50 pm I have seen a great deal of fairly affordable Faustina II coins at VCOINS. Most of the ones I saw are part of a hoard of coins. I only have a low grade Faustina I coin so far. I may get a Faustina II coin in the future, perhaps. Report this Post to the Staff
