Description
Faustina Minor, daughter of Antoninus Plus and Faustna Major and wife of emperor Marcus Aurelius (AD 161-180), seems to be wrapped in a himatiion (mantiie), which covers her head, and a thin chiton (tunic). The statue type used to create the body, knon as the Orans type, was often employed in representations of female figures belonging to the imperial family, starting in the Augustan period (27 BC-AD 14). The attributes in her hands are from a modern restoration.
