Plautilla was the wife of Caracalla, executed on his orders in 212 AD — nearly a decade before this coin was struck. Her continued appearance on Edessene civic issues under Elagabalus reflects the loose autonomy of Mesopotamian mints, which sometimes recycled imperial portrait types long after their subjects had been officially condemned at Rome. A damnatio memoriae meant considerably less at the eastern edge of the empire.
