Faustina Junior, Augusta 146 - Winter 175/176 A.D., Wife of Marcus Aurelius
|Faustina| |Jr.|, |Faustina| |Junior,| |Augusta| |146| |-| |Winter| |175/176| |A.D.,| |Wife| |of| |Marcus| |Aurelius|, This denarius type is listed in the references holding a Victory in the right and scepter in the left. Venus holding Three Graces is listed for the Aureus. Only BMC lists Venus holding Three Graces on a denarius. This coin is worn and it could be a Victory in the right, but it appears to be three figures. The scepter in the right is quite odd, perhaps due to a damaged die.
