Wife of Caracalla ~ Plautilla, born Publia Fulvia Plautilla around AD 185, was a Roman empress and the wife of Emperor Caracalla. Her life was marked by her unfortunate marriage to Caracalla, which was characterized by political maneuvering, personal animosity, and ultimately, tragedy. Plautilla was the daughter of Gaius Fulvius Plautianus, a powerful and influential figure who served as the Praetorian Prefect under Emperor Septimius Severus, Caracalla's father. Plautianus was one of the most trusted advisors of Severus, and in AD 202, he arranged the marriage between his daughter Plautilla and Caracalla, hoping to strengthen his own position and tie his family even closer to the imperial line. The marriage, however, was deeply unhappy. Caracalla despised Plautilla, reportedly treating her with disdain and cruelty. He was said to have married her only out of obligation and resented both her and her father. The union produced no children, and Caracalla's hostility toward Plautilla was well-known. The situation worsened when Plautianus fell from favor. In AD 205, Plautianus was accused of plotting against the emperor and was executed on Caracalla?s orders. Following her father's death, Plautilla's position became increasingly precarious. Caracalla, now free of any political restraints imposed by Plautianus, banished Plautilla to the island of Lipari off the coast of Italy. Plautilla lived in exile for several years. After Caracalla became sole emperor following the assassination of his brother Geta in AD 211, he ordered Plautilla's execution, likely viewing her as a lingering threat or simply acting out of spite. Plautilla's life is a stark example of the dangers faced by those caught in the web of imperial politics in ancient Rome. Despite her status as empress, she was powerless against the enmity of her husband and the ruthless nature of Roman political life. Her tragic story, like many women of her time, reflects the volatility and brutality of the Roman imperial court. ~ . ~ . ~ OUR GUARANTEE: All illustrations are of the actual item offered.
