About the Item

Important Italian bust "Antonino Pio" fine 19th Century Marmo di Carrara Measure: H: 76cm perfect conditions Titus Aurelius Fulvo Boyonius Antoninus (Latin: T. Aurelius Fulvus Boionius Arrius Antoninus, September 19, 86-March 7, 161) was Roman Emperor from 138 to 161. Born into a senatorial family of patrician rank originally of Nemausus, held the consulate and proconsulate of Asia during the rule of Hadrian, who adopted him as his son and successor shortly before his death. He earned the nickname "Pius" upon his ascension to the throne, either by having the Senate deify his predecessor, or by overturning the death sentences ordered by Hadrian in his later years. His reign was notable for the almost absence of revolts and military incursions and his permanence in the Italian peninsula. He ordered the construction of the Antonine Wall to improve the defense of the province of Britain, although it was abandoned just twenty years later. He stood out for being an efficient administrator, avoiding waste and leaving the treasury healthy; for always maintaining a respectful attitude towards the Senate; for respecting religious traditions, whether official or not; and for not undertaking important urban reforms. He granted freedmen the right to vote in their communities Antoninus Pius was born on September 19, 86 in Lanuvium, southeast of Rome, into a family originally from Nemausus, in Gaul Narbonensis, but who had settled in the capital of the Empire in the Julio-Claudian period. His father, Tito Aurelio Fulvo, was consul in the year 89, although he must have died shortly after.4 His mother was Arria Fadila, of whom little news is known. His paternal grandfather, also called Tito Aurelio Fulvo like his father, had served as consulate twice, first around the year 70 and then in the year 85, and was appointed Prefect of the City by Domitian in the 80s. His maternal grandfather, Gnaeus Arrio Antonino, also from Gaul Narbonensis, had held the consulate as sufect twice in the years 69 and 97, coinciding with individual changes in the imperial dynasty. Of his grandmothers, Boyonia Procila is known, although it is not certain if she was on the paternal or maternal side. Little is known about Antoninus's life before he became emperor. Antonino was still young when his father died, so his maternal grandfather took care of his education. He spent his youth in his possessions in Lorium. He followed an eminently civil public career, given his status as a patrician, and did not leave the Italian peninsula except when he had to exercise the proconsulate of Asia. After the death of his grandfather, Antoninus inherited his great possessions becoming one of the richest men in Rome. He married Faustina the Elder, daughter of the powerful and wealthy Marco Annio Vero.
