Quem namorou Placídia (esposa de Olíbrio)?

Placídia foi uma imperatriz-consorte romana do ocidente, esposa do imperador Olíbrio. Seu nome completo é incerto. A "Chronicle of the Roman Emperors: The reign by reign record of the rulers of Imperial Rome" (1995), de Chris Scarre, cita-o como sendo Galla Placidia Valentiniana ou Gala Placídia, a Jovem, segundo as normas romanas sobre nomes femininos.

Ela era a segunda filha de Valentiniano III e Licínia Eudóxia, irmã da princesa Eudócia, que se tornaria esposa de Hunerico, filho de Genserico, o rei dos vândalos. As duas foram batizadas em homenagem às suas avós: Eudócia em homenagem à materna, Élia Eudócia, e Placídia, à paterna, Gala Placídia.

Estima-se que Placídia tenha nascido entre 439 e 443.

Gaudentius (c. 440 in Rome – after 455) was the son of Flavius Aetius. F. M. Clover has argued that his mother was Pelagia, a Gothic noblewoman and the widow of Bonifacius.

He was born in Rome, probably in 440, and was baptized before his first birthday. Scholars identify him as the unnamed subject of a poem of Flavius Merobaudes. In 454 his father and emperor Valentinian III arranged a marriage alliance, which included the marriage between Gaudentius and Placidia, but that year his father was killed by Valentinian himself. In 455, the Vandals sacked Rome; Gaudentius was one of the countless thousands made a prisoner and brought back to Africa. Gaiseric claimed that his following attacks to Italy were to recover Gaudentius's legacy.
