Roman Empire. Faustina II (Augusta, AD 147-175). Denarius CONCORDIA (No reserve price)

The Denarius marked CONCORDIA from the era of Faustina II (Augusta, AD 147-175) commemorates one of the Roman Empire's revered imperial women, Faustina the Younger. Daughter of Antoninus Pius and wife of Marcus Aurelius, Faustina II was granted the Augusta title and featured prominently on coinage to promote dynastic stability. Concordia, representing harmony or agreement, was a common allegorical theme on Roman coins, symbolizing unity within the empire or the imperial family. Such denarii give insight into Roman symbolism, imperial portraiture, and the social-political role of empresses. The presence of Faustina II on coinage demonstrates how emperors used family images to communicate legitimacy and peaceful succession.
