Cornelia Supera, wife of Aemilian. Silver Antoninianus (3.23 g), Augusta, AD 253. Uncertain Balkan mint, under Aemilian.

Other than the fact that she was the wife of the short-reigned emperor Aemilian and that she was of the Cornelia gens, nothing is known about the empress Cornelia Supera.
Ex Triton XXIII (14 January 2020), 828; NAC 78 (26 May 2014), 1097.
