Bruttia Crispina was Roman Empress from 178 to 191 as the consort of Roman Emperor Commodus.
As Augusta, Crispina was extensively honoured with public images during the last two years of her father-in-law's reign and the initial years of her husband's reign.
She did not seem to have any significant political influence over her husband during his bizarre reign.
After ten years of marriage, Crispina was falsely charged with adultery by her husband and was banished to the island of Capri in 188, where she was later executed.
