Salonina, also known as Cornelia Salonina, was the wife of Roman Emperor Gallienus, and is thought to have been involved in imperial affairs. She is depicted on Roman coinage as a symbol of peace and stability, reflecting her status as an imperial consort. Despite her elevated position, Salonina's fate remains uncertain. Some sources suggest she was killed during the chaotic events surrounding Gallienus's assassination in 268 AD
