ΦOYΛ ΠΛAVTIΛΛA CEB, draped bust right / YΠ AYΡ ΓAΛΛOY NIKOΠOΛIT ΠΡOC I, Nike walking left, holding wreath and palm branch. 26mm, 11.50 grams. Mint of Nikopolis ad Istrum in Moesia, minted 202-205 CE. AMNG I 1630; SNG Copenhagen -; SNG Budapest -; Varbanov 3184; AMNG 1629. Minted by Magistrate Aurelius Gallus who is named on the reverse. Publia Fulvia Plautilla (d. 211/212 CE) was the wife of the Roman emperor Caracalla and briefly held the title of Augusta. She was the daughter of the powerful Praetorian Prefect Gaius Fulvius Plautianus, whose influence secured her marriage to Caracalla around 202 CE, likely against his wishes. The marriage was unhappy, and Plautilla’s fortunes declined sharply after her father fell from power and was executed in 205 CE on charges of conspiracy. She was subsequently exiled to the island of Lipari, and after Caracalla became sole emperor, he ordered her execution, bringing an end to her brief and ill-fated prominence.
