Pompeia Plotina

70 – 122 · Generation VII · Nerva–Antonine

Pompeia (AD 70 – AD 122). Married Trajan around AD 78. Childless empress who, at Trajan’s deathbed, secured — some said arranged — Hadrian’s succession.

One of 12 people of Nerva–Antonine (30–192) in this archive. The adoptive emperors: for four reigns the purple passed to a chosen heir rather than a born one.
