Annia Galeria Faustina, Jr. was the daughter of Antoninus Pius and the wife of Marcus Aurelius (and the mother of Commodus; two out of three isn’t bad). Despite many rumors alleging adulterous affairs and murder, she often accompanied her husband on his military campaigns, and they appeared to be close.
