Annia Galeria Faustina, the Elder (Faustina I or Faustina Major) c.100-140, was a Roman empress and wife of the Roman emperor Antoninus Pius (r.138-161). The emperor Marcus Aurelius (r.161-180) was her nephew and later became her adopted son, along with Emperor Lucius Verus (r.161-169 with Marcus Aurelius). She died early in the principate of Antoninus Pius, but continued to be prominently commemorated as a diva, posthumously playing a prominent symbolic role during his reign.

The Emperor. The Philosopher. The Stoic.
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.
Look well into thyself; there is a source of strength which will always spring up if thou wilt always look.
Do not indulge in dreams of having what you have not, but reckon up the chief of the blessings you do possess, and then thankfully remember how you would crave them if they were not yours.
The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.
Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now take what´s left and live it properly.
Possibly the last of the five "good" Emperors* that marked the zenith of the Roman Empire in the 2nd Century AD. The philosopher emperor, Marcus Aurelius.
This is the genuine statue, a copy being in the piazza outside the museum. The bronze work survived because for a long lime it was believed to be of a later, Christian, emperor rather than the confirmed pagan and stoic philosopher, Marcus Aurelius.
The Nervan-Antonian dynasty is a dynasty of seven consecutive Roman Emperors, who ruled over the Roman Empire from 96 to 192. These Emperors are Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, Marcus Aurelius, Lucius Verus, and Commodus. However, of the last two, Lucius Verus was co-emperor with, and heir to, Marcus Aurelius but died before him; Commodus was far from good and on his death, plunged the Roman world in to Civil War.
See here for more details on Marcus Aurelius and here for more general information on the dynasty.
There was much discussion in the 19th Century over how ancient Romans pronounced Latin. It is now believed that "Ave Caesar" is not pronounced as it it written and spoken in the best Hollywood movies but as "our way kai sar".
