Observaciones y contexto
The role of the empresses of the Antonine dynasty was not as visible as that of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, but they were the ones who legitimized the power of their husbands by granting it as a dowry. Plotina, Marciana, Matidia the Elder and Sabina held a public status and represented a series of private and domestic roles with public significance. Later, the Faustinas participated in politics: Faustina the Elder issued coins and promoted the education of women in Rome, and Faustina the Younger was the first empress to receive the title of mater castrorum, as Julia Domna of the Severan dynasty would later do.
