to the emperor Antoninus Pius and the elder Faustina.
From fragments of Faustina's letters to her husband reported in the ancient sources, it is clear that they regularly discussed the affairs of state, even military affairs.
When faced with one such accusation, the emperor was said to have responded that if he were to divorce Faustina, she could reclaim her dowry, and since his position as emperor rested on his adoption by her father, he wondered whether he would have to return to her the empire.

 MHC Art Museum-f99 exhibitions
Faustina the Elder (so designated to distinguish her from her daughter, Faustina the Younger, wife of Marcus Aurelius) thus became the subject of intense scrutiny by art history professor Bettina Bergmann, curator Wendy Watson, and the students who took part in Bergmann's seminars in 1997 and 1998.
Faustina's untimely death in 141 C.E. stimulated an unprecedented number of coin issues, architectural dedications, and portraits in various media.
The present exhibition considers why Faustina's likenesses were so abundant after her demise and the cultural significance of their reappearances and reverberations in western art and culture through several centuries.
