Framing within the Severe Dynasty, the coins minted in the name of Salustia Orbiana are really scarce because he soon fell into ostracism after the execution of his father, accused of attempted murder of the emperor, and his subsequent exile in Libya. Wife of Alejandro Severo, for whom he holds the title of Augusta, represents the end of the Severa dynasty, the last lineage of the Principality and the prologue to what would later be the crisis of the third century.
