Nothing is known about her life, except from numismatic evidence. Her full name on the coins is C[AIA] CORNEL[IA] SVPERA AVG[VSTA], or alternatively CORNEL[IA] SVPERA AVG[VSTA] or COR[NELIA] SVPERA AV[GVSTA]. Her coins are extremely rare.[1] Her name and monuments were condemned after Valerian was hailed as emperor in October of 253.[2]
