Faustina, Annia Galeria

Faustina, Annia Galeria

▪ Roman patrician
byname  Faustina the Younger  
born c. AD 130
died 175, Halala, near Tyana, Cappadocia [present-day Kemerhisar, Tur.]
 cousin and wife of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius (ruled 161–180) and his companion on several of his military campaigns.

      Faustina was the daughter of the emperor Antoninus Pius (ruled 138–160) and Annia Galeria Faustina the Elder. She was engaged to marry the future Lucius Verus (Verus, Lucius) at Hadrian's command in AD 138. On Hadrian's death, Antoninus Pius engaged Faustina to his wife's nephew, Marcus Aurelius, and they were married in 145. (Roman girls were assumed to reach puberty and be ready for marriage at age 15.) After her first child, Domitia Faustina, was born on Nov. 30, 147, the Senate bestowed on Faustina the title augusta. Faustina bore Marcus at least 12 children, of whom 6—5 daughters and 1 son, Commodus—survived her. Because she accompanied her husband as he fought the tribes along the Danube, Marcus had her proclaimed “mother of the camp” (mater castrorum) in 174; upon her death in 175 he had her deified.
