Faustina (fôstī`nə), name of two women, wives of Roman emperors. 1 The elder (c.104–141) was the wife of Antoninus Pius Antoninus Pius (Titus Aurelius Fulvus Boionius Arrius Antoninus) (ăntōnī`nəs pī`əs), A.D. 86–A.D. 2 The younger (c.125–176), daughter of Antoninus Pius and the elder Faustina, was the wife of Marcus Aurelius Marcus Aurelius (Marcus Aelius Aurelius Antoninus) (mär`kəs ôrē`lēəs) How to thank TFD for its existence?

Yet don't run away with the idea that this poor Faustina was the only woman I ever cared about. He had undergone some strange experiences in his absence; he had seen the virtual Faustina in the literal Cornelia, a spiritual Lucretia in a corporeal Phryne; he had thought of the woman taken and set in the midst as one deserving to be stoned, and of the wife of Uriah being made a queen; and he had asked himself why he had not judged Tess constructively rather than biographically, by the will rather than by the deed? He was to leave the city by the Porta del Popolo, skirt the outer wall, and re-enter by the Porta San Giovanni; thus they would behold the Colosseum without finding their impressions dulled by first looking on the Capitol, the Forum, the Arch of Septimus Severus, the Temple of Antoninus and Faustina, and the Via Sacra. |
