EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Marble Bust of Faustina the Younger or Her Daughter Lucilla: A Regal Legacy from Ancient Cyrene, North Africa at the British Museum, London 2. Description: This exquisitely preserved marble bust, dated between 162 and 170 AD, showcases the enchanting visage of either Faustina the Younger or her daughter Lucilla, two prominent figures from the Nerva-Antonine Dynasty of ancient Rome. Originating from Cyrene, North Africa, this masterpiece is now proudly displayed at the British Museum in London, England, United Kingdom. Faustina the Younger, born around 125/130 AD, was the beloved consort of Emperor Antoninus Pius and the mother of Marcus Aurelius, the renowned philosopher-king. Her striking features, depicted in this bust, are believed to have inspired the ideal of Roman beauty. Alternatively, the bust may represent Faustina's daughter, Lucilla, who was born around 148/150 AD. She was married to Lucius Verus, a co-ruler with her father-in-law, Marcus Aurelius. Lucilla's reputation as a powerful and influential empress is evident in her portrayal in this magnificent marble sculpture. Both Faustina the Younger and her daughter Lucilla played significant roles in the Roman Empire during the 2nd century AD. Their legacies as empresses, mothers, and members of the Nerva-Antonine Dynasty continue to captivate historians and art enthusiasts alike. 3.
