Plautia was the second daughter born to
Roman Senator Lucius Aelius Caesar, the first adopted heir of the
Roman Emperor Hadrian (117–138) and
Avidia. Plautia was born and raised in
Rome. Her
cognomen Plautia, she inherited from her mother and her grandmothers. She had three siblings: a sister called
Ceionia Fabia; two brothers the Roman Emperor
Lucius Verus who co-ruled with
Marcus Aurelius from 161 to 169 and Gaius Avidius Ceionius Commodus. Her maternal grandparents were the Roman Senator
Gaius Avidius Nigrinus and the surmised but undocumented noblewoman Plautia. Although her adoptive paternal grandparents were the Roman Emperor Hadrian and Roman Empress
Vibia Sabina, her biological paternal grandparents were the consul Lucius Ceionius Commodus and noblewoman
Plautia. Plautia married
Quintus Servilius Pudens, consul in 166. Plautia bore Pudens a daughter called Servilia, who married Junius Licinius Balbus, a man of consular rank. Servilia and Balbus had a son called
Junius Licinius Balbus. ==References==
