Salonina, wife of Gallienus, lived during the intense Third Century Crisis of the Roman Empire. Despite the challenges of the era, she exerted a stabilising influence on her husband’s reign. Known for her intelligence and political acumen, Salonina actively supported Gallienus in his efforts to defend the empire against external threats, including invasions by Germanic tribes and usurpers within the Roman ranks. Her presence at court provided a sense of legitimacy and continuity during a time of upheaval. Although historical accounts of her life are scarce, Salonina is remembered as a steadfast consort who stood by Gallienus during his turbulent reign. We are offering a group of Antoninianus with beautiful silver patina coming in “Good Very Fine” grade. The obverse shows the bust of Salonina and the reverse has either a standing or seated deity
