Planatsina Munath

Plantsin's munation ( 30 BC - 33 AD) is an ancient Roman matron and political activist.

Descended from the patrician clan Munatsiyev. It was the daughter of Lucius Mounation Planck , legate of Guy Julius Caesar and the consul 42 BC. er , and the wife of Gneus Calpurnius Piso , consul 7 years BC. er , in marriage with whom she bore two sons.

In the year 18 n. er when her husband was appointed by the governor of Syria to replace Germanicus by decision of the emperor Tiberius , she followed there with him. Proud of her wealth, nobility, and ties with the imperial house — she enjoyed the friendship of Libya Augusta — Plancina shared Tiberius’s dislike for Germanicus and, probably, not without the knowledge of Libya and Tiberius, upon arrival in Syria, she began hostile actions against Germanicus and was in very bad relations with the wife of the latter, Agrippina. When the latter made an alliance with one of the Arshakids , Python and Plantsina openly supported his opponent, expelled from Parthia Wonon .

When, after traveling through Egypt, Germanicus returned to Syria, Piso and Plantsina began to spread various unflattering rumors and gossip about him, while Plantsina campaigned even among the soldiers. In 1919, Germanic — believed to be from poison — became seriously ill and died. Upon learning of his death, Plantsina removed the mourning that she wore on the occasion of her sister's death, and dressed up in festive clothes, together with her spouse, openly showing joy about it. Arriving in Rome, she, in spite of the general sadness, organized a solemn feast in her palace, which aroused the indignation of the people, who had previously suspected her and her husband of the death of Germanicus. The process initiated on this occasion ended with the suicide of Peason, who considered the court decision predetermined; Plancina was pardoned thanks to the intercession of Libya. In the year 33 , after the death of Agrippina and Libya, Plantsina was again brought to trial for some crimes (possibly again for the murder of Germanicus) and committed suicide before the end of the case.
