A skilled administrator and builder, Antoninus never left Italy during his reign and upon his death he left the empire with a large surplus in the treasury. Landmarks bearing his name that still stand today include the Temple of Antoninus Pius and Faustina, which Antoninus had constructed in 141 in memory of his beloved wife Faustina.
