Antoninus Pius (r. 138–61 A.D.), originally from southern Gaul, was the first of the Antonines, an adoptive dynasty that reflected the connections between wealthy provincial and Italian families. His reign was mostly peaceful and benevolent, the Senate having conferred on him the honorary title Pius. Many statues and portraits of Antoninus and his wife Faustina were produced in Rome and the provinces. In appearance, Antoninus followed the style made fashionable by Hadrian (r. 117–38 A.D.)— a thick, curly beard and a frame of hair around the face—thus emphasizing a constructed familial connection to his predecessor and adoptive father.
