Salonina, Augusta 254 - c. September 268 A.D.
|Salonina|, |Salonina,| |Augusta| |254| |-| |c.| |September| |268| |A.D.|, Based on this coin it is very likely that the Salonina erected a temple to the goddess Segetia, who before that had only an altar in the Circus Maximus. Segetia presided over the crops when the seeds germinated and seedlings rose up from the soil. Prayers and sacrifices would have been made to her at the time of planting.
