Diva Faustina I Senior, silver Denarius (wife of Emperor Antonius Pius), obverse Diva Faustina draped bust right; reverse Ceres goddess of agriculture and of the love of a mother for her children, 3.2g, good EF near as struck. Other Notes: Anna Galeri Faustina Minor was the Daughter of Emperor Antonius Pius and Empress Faustina the Elder, and the Emperor Hadrian was her uncle. In 145 AD Marcus Aurelius and Faustina were married and she bore 13 children; one of the children later became the Emperor Commodus. In thirty years of marriage she was accused in Augustan history of numerous counts of adultery and even of instigating the revolt of Avidus Cassius against her husband. Marcus Aurelius ignored these accusations and they seem to have enjoyed a devoted marriage. Faustina died in an accident in 175AD at a military camp in Halala. The grieving Aurelius renamed Halala Faustinopolis and dedicated temples in her honour and even opened orphanages called 'The Girls of Faustina'.
Macedonian Kingdom, Alexander III, silver drachm, obverse head of Herakles right wearing a lion's skin headress, reverse Zeus seated cross legged (posthumous issue) holding an eagle and a sceptre, MP (monogram) below eagle, near EF, 4.2g Other Notes: Alexander the Great was born in Pell/Macedom 356 and died in 323BC in Babylon. His genius as a general led to the Macedonian army conquering and creating an empire from Greece to India until his death aged just 33. His reign marks the beginning of the Hellenistic age. 80% of coins were issued posthumously and this is apparent as the legs of Zeus on the coin are crossed - as they are uncrossed during his lifetime.
