Interesting fact
The Denarius coin featuring Faustina the Younger and the goddess Concordia is notable for its depiction of the empress wearing a unique hairstyle known as the "Faustinian coiffure," which became popular among Roman women during her reign. This hairstyle featured a high bun at the back of the head, adorned with pearls and other jewels, and was seen as a symbol of elegance and sophistication.
