Zusammenfassung:The elder Faustina (c.97-140 AD) was the wife of Antonius Pius and the aunt of Marcus Aurelius, and her more prominent daughter, Faustina II (130-175), the wife of Marcus Aurelius and the mother of Commodus.

This book highlights the importance of these women to the internal politics of the Empire during this period and shows how they are links in a chain of elite Roman women for whom varying levels of recognition and even power were available.
