    In their thirty years of marriage, Faustina and Marcus Aurelius had at least fourteen children, including two sets of twins.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concubinatus

    Marcus Aurelius had a concubina rather than remarrying so that relations with his children would not be complicated by a stepmother. [48] Children are mentioned infrequently in connection with concubinatus, and in her study of the subject Beryl Rawson wondered whether children were perhaps not particularly desired from this relationship. [49]

The biographies contained in the Historia Augusta claim to be written by a group of authors at the turn of the fourth century, but are in fact written by a single author (referred to here as "the biographer") from the later fourth century (c. 395).
