Shown at left is a denarius of Faustina Senior, the wife of the Emperor Antoninus Pius, who ruled from 138 to 161. After her death early in his reign, Pius had many different coins struck in her honor, including this one.
There are also later Imperial coins of Titus, Trajan, Faustina Senior, M. Aurelius, and Severus Alexander, attributed conjecturally to Cyrenaca (Mller, i, p. 171), but the evidence for the Cyrenac origin of these is very doubtful.
