A Roman widow, reputedly the mother of St. Flavia Domitilla and the wife of Emperor Vespasian, who was exiled by Emperor Domitian for being a Christian. It is unlikely that Plautilla was Flavia's mother, as history records her mother to be Flavia Domitilla, wife of Vespasian. In legend, Plautilla was also said to have been baptized by St. Peter and to have witnessed the execution of St. Paul.
