Her family came from Volceii, Luciania, Italy. Crispina was more than likely raised in Rome or Voceii. Crispina was approximately 14 years old when she was married to Commodus when he was 16 in 178 AD. She never had any children and was later exiled to the island Capri off the cost of Campania, Italy where she was executed at the age of 26 due to being accused of adultery in 191 AD.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]460951[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This coin was a gift from Santa here on this forum and I do appreciate it for real.
