Annia Galeria Aurelia Faustina (c. 151/153[1] - after 165) was a daughter of Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius and his wife, Faustina the Younger.[2][3] Her sister was empress Lucilla and her younger brother was Commodus.[2] Her maternal grandparents were Antoninus Pius and Faustina the Elder, while her paternal grandparents were Domitia Lucilla and the praetor Marcus Annius Verus.[4] She was born and raised in Rome. The parents of Faustina betrothed her to Gnaeus Claudius Severus, whom she later married after 159.[5] Gnaeus Claudius Severus was a Roman Senator of Pontian Greek descent who came from Pompeiopolis, a city in the Roman province of Galatia. After Faustina married Claudius Severus, they settled in Pompeiopolis. Faustina bore Claudius Severus a son, Tiberius Claudius Severus Proculus, who served as consul in 200.
