BIO  Galla Placidia had an adventurous life. 

She was a Roman princess, captured when the Goths sacked Rome in 410.  She married  Visigothic (West Goth) chieftain Ataulphus, and they were happy together until his murder five years later.

Then she was married to Constantius III who became Roman emperor in 421 and died several months later.  With the death of her brother in 423, Placidia was Empress (Augusta) of the Western Roman Empire in her own right.  She ruled very well considering that the Roman world was collapsing, and is noted for the churches she built in Ravenna, Italy Nancy

 Tom Tierney paper dolls for the collector in all of us.

 

 

 

 

The only book I've read that was specifically about Galla Placidia is Heaven's Only Daughter by Kathleen Robinson.  It's entertaining historical romance.  However she does rate mention in William Dietrich's The Scourge of God, an enjoyable novel about Attila the Hun.  It reminded me of Thomas Costain's The Darkness and The Dawn.   Nancy

Mini Book Review List

 

Galla Placidia's coin isn't very flattering, but take a look anyway.  Besides, there's more information about the lady.
