[QUOTE="Gil-galad, post: 2526531, member: 44154"]The other side of the story is that Plautilla was a spendthrift, or gold digger and spent so much money. As well as having a big mouth and wouldn't shut up. They had simple solutions for that back then which is totally unacceptable today. So, if you can't get a woman to shut up, they will often strangle them to death. But yeah, her life and end was a tragic one. She is so beautiful as displayed on coins, perhaps she looked similar in real life.
