(sometimes written Placilla or Placidia), an early Christian empress, was a Spaniard by birth, or rather, perhaps, daughter of Antonius (praefect of Gaul); was married to Theodosius I, in 376, by, whom she had several children. She was a woman of great virtue and charity; died apparently in 385, and is commemorated as a saint in the Greek Church on September 14.
