Historical

Herennia Cupressenia Etruscilla († c. 251) was the wife of the Roman Emperor Decius.

Herennia Etruscilla came from an old Etruscan senatorial family. Little is known about her youth, except that she married the aristocrat Decius, who came from Illyria, before 230. Her eldest son Herennius Etruscus was born around 227, her second son Hostilian after 230.
