Faustina I (
Latin:
Faustina Major; born on February 16 around 100 CE; died in October or November of 140 CE), was a Roman empress and wife of the
Roman emperor Antoninus Pius. She died early in the principate of Antoninus Pius, but continued to be prominently commemorated as a
diva, posthumously playing a prominent symbolic role in Antoninus Pius' régime.
