Galla Placidia (388-450) (Go-Go-Gal to her pals), Empress of the West Roman Empire, Princess of the Purple Nurples and Mistress of the Testicles, was one of the last notable matrons of an imperial legacy stretching back to Augustus. Abducted by the Goths, married to a flatulent German, wife of an emperor and mother of another, Galla could well have ended up as Attila the Hun's mother-in-law if only events had twisted a certain way. She later became a somewhat pious, priggish woman but a determined mistress of her own fate.

  • Galla Placidia (388-450) (Go-Go-Gal to her pals), Empress of the West Roman Empire, Princess of the Purple Nurples and Mistress of the Testicles, was one of the last notable matrons of an imperial legacy stretching back to Augustus. Abducted by the Goths, married to a flatulent German, wife of an emperor and mother of another, Galla could well have ended up as Attila the Hun's mother-in-law if only events had twisted a certain way. She later became a somewhat pious, priggish woman but a determined mistress of her own fate. Galla shines well during this murky period as the wheels of the Western end of the Roman World came flying off. In later years she spread her name by being a generous benefactor of churches which was always good to get yourself posthumous praise. A building dedicated to her still stands in Ravenna in Italy, looking like brick built public lavatory on the outside. It is called the 'Mausoleum of Galla Placidia' and inside you can see three tombs. One was supposed to be hers but all are now empty.
