Next, another coin depicting a Roman emperor & empress together on the same side of the coin. The portrait on this coin is stunning & the reverse ironic. Plautilla & Caracalla were the product of an arraigned marriage by Septimius Severus. Caracalla hated Plautilla, & soon after Severus died Caracalla had Plautilla & her brother exiled to the island of Lipari, & by his orders both were strangled 🥹. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
