Rome Denarius AR 18 mm, 3,10 g PLAVTILLAE AVGVSTAE, draped bust right / CONCORDIAE AETERNAE, Plautilla and Caracalla standing facing one another, clasping hands. Very Fine RIC 361 (Caracalla); RSC 10; BMC 401 Publia Fulvia Plautilla was a Roman empress who lived during the 2nd century AD. She was the daughter of Gaius Fulvius Plautianus, who served as a close advisor to the Roman Emperor Septimius Severus. In 202 AD, Plautilla married the Roman Emperor Caracalla. However, the marriage was unhappy, and Caracalla eventually developed a strong dislike for her. In 205 AD, Caracalla had Plautilla exiled to the island of Lipari. The exile of Plautilla was part of Caracalla's efforts to consolidate his power and eliminate potential threats. However, her exile was not enough to satisfy Caracalla, and he later ordered her execution in 212 AD, shortly after he became the sole ruler of the Roman Empire. The exact reasons for Plautilla's fall from favor and subsequent execution remain unclear, but it is believed that her close association with her father, who was a powerful and influential figure, may have played a role in her downfall.
