Although Plautilla came with a magnificent dowry, this arranged marriage between the fourteen year old Caracalla and slightly older Plautilla was not a happy one. Cassius Dio comments that Caracalla despised her and that Plautilla was a shameless profligate. Unfortunately for Plautilla, three years into the marriage her father, Gaius Fulvius Plautianus, one of the wealthiest men in Rome, fell from favor with Septimius Severus. He was executed for treason and his family properties were confiscated. Caracalla immediately divorced Plautilla and she was sent into exile in AD 205. Caracalla never remarried, and Plautilla was strangled on his orders shortly after Septimius Severus died in early AD 211.Coins are guaranteed genuine for life.
