Faustina

4. Annia Faustina, a grand-daughter or great-grand-daughter of M. Aurelius, was the third of the numerous wives of Elagabalus. The marriage, as we infer from medals, took place about A. D. 221, but a divorce must speedily have followed. (D. C. 79.5; Herodian, 5.14; Eckhel, vol. vii. p. 261.)
