Plotina was the matchmaker between Hadrian and his future wife Vibia Sabina.[4] Death of Trajan and Accession of Hadrian[edit] When a letter Trajan was said to have composed on his deathbed appeared in Rome with Plotina's signature on it, in which he adopted Hadrian and naming him successor to the Empire, suspicions were raised. Annelise Freisenbruch dismisses this accusation: "Plotina, the silent spouse of the second century, thus joined Livia, Agrippina Minor, and Domitia in the gallery of Roman imperial women accused of covering up or conspiring in their husband's deaths." Freisenbruch notes that there are many plausible explanations why Plotina's signature might legitimately be on this declaration: Trajan may have simply been too weak to sign the letter himself. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-2908.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-2908.txt
