EDITORS COMMENTS
Annia Galeria Faustina Minor, also known as Faustina the Younger, was a prominent figure in the Roman Empire during the 2nd century AD. Daughter of Emperor Antoninus Pius and Empress Faustina the Elder, she became the consort of her maternal cousin, Marcus Aurelius, who was also Roman Emperor at the time. This stunning bust, now housed in the Glyptothek in Munich, Germany, provides a glimpse into the character and beauty of Faustina the Younger. Born around 130 AD, Faustina the Younger was a beloved empress and wife to Marcus Aurelius, who ruled from 161 to 180 AD. The imperial era in which she lived was marked by stability and prosperity, and Faustina the Younger was known for her grace and charm. Her portrait, as depicted in this bust, shows her with an elegant and refined expression, her features accentuated by the intricate details of the marble carving. Despite her youthful age, Faustina the Younger played an important role in the Roman Empire during a time of peace and growth. Her image was widely disseminated throughout the empire, appearing on coins and other artifacts, and she was revered as a symbol of Roman power and prosperity. The bust, which shows signs of age and wear, adds to its historical significance, reminding us of the passage of time and the enduring legacy of the Roman Empire. Faustina the Younger's story is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of ancient Rome, and this bust is a precious reminder of her important place in it.
