Metal detectorists in the east of England have discovered a cache of Roman silver coins that depict several emperors and even some of their wives.
The most famous ruler featured in the hoard is arguably the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius (reigned from A.D. 161 to 180), while his wife, Faustina II, is portrayed on a coin of her own. Aurelius, one of the "five good emperors of Rome," is best known for writing his "Meditations" and thoughts on Stoic philosophy.
