Salonina AV Aureus. Viminacium, circa AD 254-257. CORN SALONINA AVG, diademed and draped bust right / IVNO REGINA, Juno standing left, holding patera and sceptre. RIC 10 var. (joint reign; obv. legend); MIR 36, 902c; Calicó 3675. 3.26g, 19mm, 5h. Near Extremely Fine. Extremely Rare. Salonina was married to Gallienus around 240 and accorded the titles of Augusta and Mater Castrorum (Mother of the Camp) in 254; coinage in bronze, silver and gold, as exemplified by the present specimen, was issued in her name. The reverse depiction of Juno with the accompanying legend IVNO REGINA references the deity’s role as patron goddess of Rome and the empire. Wife of the supreme God Jupiter ‘Greatest and Best’, Juno had a multi-faceted role in Roman religion, performing many interrelated functions. The goddess is represented here in her role as both protector of the state, and of the lives of women (and in particular the empress). The divine association suggested by this aureus between Juno and Salonina as Augusta is one that was often used on imperial coinage, and mirrors the gold issues of her husband which place upon the reverse Jupiter in his alternate roles of guardian and avenger.
