hi people 
i went out today after the snow stopped in the uk the ground was covered in like 6inchs of snow that kinda snow stops the UK in its tracks everything goes to mush here 
not like the snow in your country where there is feet of snow every where and you still get on with life 
i went on ploughed land to detect and it was very hard going only found this roman coin and a couple of bits of scrap metal for a couple of hours detecting had to stop as my legs where burning from all the up and down of the roughly ploughed field with snow everywhere 
her name was Faustina II AD340- AD 366
Heres a little bit about her
Constantius married her in Antioch in 361, after the death of his second wife, Eusebia in 360.[1] Ammianus simply reports that the marriage took place while Constantius was wintering in Antioch, taking a break from the ongoing Roman–Persian Wars. "At that same time Constantius took to wife Faustina, having long since lost Eusebia".[2]
She was pregnant when Constantius died on 5 October 361 and later gave birth to their posthumus daughter, Flavia Maxima Constantia, the only child of the emperor. Constantia later married Emperor Gratian.[1] Ammianus reports: "Constantius, therefore, having reached Antiochia by forced marches, intending (as was his custom) eagerly to encounter civil disturbances at their outset, and having made all his preparations, was in immoderate haste to set out, although many opposed it, but only by murmurs; for no one dared openly to dissuade or to forbid him. When autumn was already waning he began his march, and on coming to a suburban estate called Hippocephalus, distant three miles [4.5 km] from the city, he saw in broad daylight on the right side of the road the corpse of a man with head torn off, lying stretched out towards the west. Terrified by the omen, although the fates were preparing his end, he kept on with the greater determination and arrived at Tarsus."[3]
"After this followed the last mournful call to the deceased, and grief and wailing broke out; then those who held the first rank in the royal court considered what they should do, or what they ought to attempt. And after a few had been sounded secretly as to the choice of an emperor, at the suggestion of Eusebius (as was reported), whom the consciousness of his guilt pricked, since Julian's nearness made an attempt at revolution inadvisable, Theolaifus and Aligildus, at that time counts, were sent to him, to report the death of his kinsman, and beg him to lay aside all delay and come to take over the Orient, which was ready to obey him. However, rumour and an uncertain report had it that Constantius had made a last will, in which (as I have said) he wrote down Julian as his heir and gave commissions and legacies to those who were dear to him. Now he left his wife with child, and the posthumous daughter to whom she afterwards gave birth was called by his name, and when she grew up was united in marriage with Gratianus." [3]
