Silver Roman denarius of Faustina II (wife of Marcus Aurelius)
Reverse: SAECVLI FELICIT, two infant boys--Commodus & Antoninus--seated facing on a throne. "Saeculi Felicit" means happy times, referring to the empire's new heirs.The two infants are the twin sons of Marcus Aurelius and Faustina Junior, Commodus and Antoninus. Antoninus died at age four. The infamous Commodus succeeded Marcus Aurelius as emperor.

The era of the Antonines is my favorite. Esp. Faustina II. Great coin.
Often her children were included on the coins.
