<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Parthicus Maximus, post: 3541320, member: 102867&quot;]Sorry but I don&#039;t agree with you.&nbsp; Just like other empresses, she mainly played a role in the background simply because women in ancient Rome had no political role to play.&nbsp; Yet I think that Plotina&#039;s role in history is often underestimated.&nbsp; She must have played an important role in the shadowy follow-up from Trajan to Hadrian.&nbsp; The decree stating that Hadrian was the successor was signed by her.&nbsp; She had never done this before.&nbsp; What seems to indicate that Plotina made her own choice.&nbsp; All the more so because despite the high positions that Hadrian received, Trajan never appointed him caesar.&nbsp; Plotina has therefore probably taken matters into its own hands.&nbsp; Her choice for Hadrian laid the foundation for the adoptive emperors of the rest of the century.&nbsp; So I think you can call her one of the most powerful empresses.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
