Historical context

Sulpicia Dryantilla was the wife of Regalianus, a Roman usurper who rebelled against Emperor Gallienus and granted her the title of Augusta to reinforce his legitimacy. Both she and her husband likely died in 260 or 261 after he was killed by his own followers and the Rhoxolani. This antoninianus was produced at Carnuntum, a Roman legionary fortress on the Danube that served as the capital of Pannonia Superior. Characteristic of the denomination, depictions of women featured the bust resting upon a crescent moon.
