The lady Placidia, along with her mother,
Licinia Eudoxia, and her sister,
Eudoxia, were carried away as captives of the
Vandal King
Gaiseric, in 455. They were held as captives at
the Vandal capital of Carthage for quite some time.
She, and her mother, were only
released on the marriage of her younger sister to the
Vandal prince,
Huneric.
Upon her release from the Vandals, she made her
way to her husband,
Anicius Olybrius in Constantinople, and lived out
her life as one of the most noble matrons of that
city.
