Historical background
PLAUTILLA and CARACALLA
Caracalla married the daughter of Plautian, prefect of the Praetorium, in 202 at the request of her father. Caracalla doesn't get along with his wife. The Happy Concorde of the legend of the reverse of the deniers struck on the occasion of the wedding is a sweet understatement that does not even last.
