ROMAN EMPIRE - Nerva–Antonine Dynasty - Diva Faustina the Elder, wife of Antoninus Pius

AV Aureus - gold - Rome Mint - after 141 A.D.

Obverse: Bust of Faustina the Elder, veiled and draped, to right, her hair elaborately waved and coiled on top; legend around.

O/legend: DIVA - FAVSTINA

Reverse: Ceres standing to left, veiled and draped, holding a torch in right hand and short vertical sceptre in left; legend around.

R/legend: AVGV - STA•

Edge: plain

Coin alignment: normal

Technique: hammered

Weight: 7,00 g

Diameter: Ø 19,5 mm (maximum)

Condition: GVF, slight scratches on obverse; portrait in high relief; fine patina.

Provenance: ex private collection V.D.W. (BE), until November 2019

References: RIC III Antoninus Pius 356b; BMCRE 397; Cohen 97; Sear (RCV, 2002) 4553 (var.)

Rarity index: R1

Historic context: Ceres was the Roman goddess of agriculture and grain, but also the love a mother bears for her child. Therefore we can assume that her image in combination with the legend is a reference to the mother-daughter relationship between Faustina the Elder and her daughter, the new empress or “Augusta”, Faustina the Younger.
