Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Aureus coin featuring Faustina the Younger is that it was issued during a time of relative peace and prosperity in the Roman Empire, known as the Pax Romana or "Roman Peace." This period lasted from 27 BC to 180 AD and saw significant economic growth, cultural achievements, and military expansion. The coin's inscription, "TEMPOR FELIC," which translates to "happy times," reflects the optimism and confidence of the Roman people during this era.
