Plautilla (202-205) - Pietas (VF)

Publia Fulvia Plautilla (died 211) was the wife of the Roman emperor Caracalla, her paternal second cousin. After her father was condemned for treason, she was exiled and eventually killed, possibly on Caracalla’s orders.

The obverse features the bust of Plautilla, with her hair coiled in ridges and fastened in a bun at the back. She is draped and faces right. The inscription reads “PLAVTILLA AVGVSTA”, signifying Fulvia Plautilla Augusta.

On the reverse is the personification of Pietas (Piety). Pietas stands draped, holding a scepter in her right hand and a child in her left arm.
