Aelia Galla Placidia (born circa 388, died 450) lived one of the most eventful lives of Late Antiquity. Daughter of Roman Emperor Theodosius I and his second wife Galla, who herself was daughter of the Emperor Valentinian I, Galla Placidia was half sister of emperors Honorius and Arcadius, and mother of Western Roman Emperor Valentinian III (from Wikipedia article):
