Faustina's death at Halala
· Halala (Faustinopolis), Cappadocia, Turkey
During Marcus's eastern journey after the Cassius revolt, his wife Faustina died at Halala in the Taurus foothills; he subsequently elevated the settlement as a colony. The exact year is disputed in modern reconstructions, which place Faustina's death in late 175 or 176; coordinates represent the identified site of Faustinopolis near modern Başmakçı.
