As or Dupondius of Faustina II 161 - 176

Editor: Here we have a glimpse into the past: an As or Dupondius, a coin made by Faustina II. It's small, weathered, and shows its age. What stories do you think it holds? Curator: For me, it whispers of empire. Imagine the hands it passed through, the daily transactions, the weight of power it represented. Each scratch and imperfection is a tiny echo of history. I wonder, what was its value then, and what story could we invent for it? Editor: That's incredible to think about. So, what have we learned? Curator: I think we've scratched the surface, revealing a link to an era long gone. It's a reminder that even the smallest objects can hold immense historical and emotional weight.
