Annia Cornificia Faustina Minor
- Annia Cornificia Faustina Minor
Annia Aurelia Cornificia Faustina or Annia Cornificia Faustina Minor or Cornificia the Younger (160-212), was a daughter of Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius and Roman Empress Faustina the Younger and a sister to Roman Empress Lucilla and Roman Emperor Commodus. She was named in honor of her late paternal aunt Annia Cornificia Faustina.
She married Marcus Petronius Sura Mamertinus (consul in 182) and possibly later Lucius Didius Marinus. In 212, Roman Emperor Caracalla, ordered her death and around that time she was in her fifties. The manner of her death was recorded by historian Cassius Dio, which reflects the dignity of her upbringing.
"Her last words were 'My poor, unhappy soul, trapped in an unworthy body, go forth, be free, show them that you are the daughter of Marcus Aurelius!' Then she took off her ornaments, composed herself, opened her veins, and died."
With her death, she was the last living child of Marcus Aurelius and Faustina the Younger.
