In 455, she was forced to marry Palladius, the
son of the usurper
Petronius Maximus but this forced marriage only
lasted a few weeks. After
Gaiseric took Rome later in 455, leading to the
fall of
Petronius Maximus, she was carried off from Rome
to Carthage
along with her mother and her younger sister,
Placidia. After a few years, she married
Huneric of the Vandals, by whom she begot the heir
to the Vandal throne.
