Ancient Rome 202-205AD Concordia Rev. Plautilla Silver Denarius AU-UNC (AU55)
Plautilla (c. 180–211 CE) was a Roman empress and the daughter of the senator and future consul Gaius Fulvius Plautianus. She was married to Caracalla in 202 CE as part of a political alliance orchestrated by her father, who was a powerful and influential figure in the Severan court. The marriage was reportedly unhappy, and ancient sources suggest Caracalla held little affection for her. Plautilla was exiled along with her father after he fell from power and was eventually executed around 211 CE, likely on orders of Caracalla. Though her life was brief and tragic, Plautilla’s story reflects the perilous position of imperial women in the politics of the Severan dynasty.
