Historical Significance: Crispina married the sixteen-year-old future Emperor Commodus in the summer of 178 AD, bringing a substantial dowry of estates that gave him control of a significant portion of Lucanian territory (in southern Italy). As Augusta (empress), Crispina was extensively honored with public images during the final years of her father-in-law Marcus Aurelius' reign and the early years of her husband's rule. Her presence on Roman coinage reflects her status as a member of the imperial family during the final decades of the Antonine dynasty, a period often considered the height of Roman prosperity before the turbulent Crisis of the Third Century began. This certified coin provides a tangible connection to one of Rome's imperial women whose life intersected with pivotal figures of Roman history.
