Note du spécialiste

Annia Galeria Faustina or Faustina the Elder (Major) was the daughter of Marcus Annius Verus and Rupilia Faustina. She married the Emperor Antoninus Pius in circa 110 A.D.
It was Faustina the Elder who created the fashionable coiffure of having wavy locks of hair drawn to the sides combined with braided hair coiled above, a style that was to become popular with infinite variations.
