She had a son, Theodosius, by the Visigothic king, but he died in infancy, was buried in Barcelona, but years later the corpse was exhumed and reburied in the imperial mausoleum in Saint Peter's cathedral.
This is far from clear. What is Saint Peter's cathedral? The great St. Peter's basilica in Rome was never a cathedral. There may be cathedrals dedicated to St. Peter elsewhere.
This sentence "They had a son who became Valentinian III and his rather more strong-willed sister, Justa Grata Honoria. " implies that the son was a transsexual -- "who became ... his rather more strong-willed sister" I have changed it to say that they also had a strong-willed daughter.

which claims that Placidia was captured in 455 AD. If that article is correct, then Placidia
can not have died on November 27, 450 five years before she was captured.
---It's OK. The article refers to Galla Placidia's granddaughter, Placidia. In 455 the Vandals took Galla Placidia's daughter-in-law and her two granddaughters. Galla Placidia had died in 450. --Jroo222 (talk) 18:14, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The caption in the portrait seems wrong to me. See the full picture at Valentinian III. If Galla Placidia was the mother of the two, shouldn't she be the oldest woman, in the middle? FilipeS00:36, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hang on, isn't the portrait shown here that of Justa Grata Honoria? If you compare the other wikis, it seems that way. Of the two women in the original, the woman at the bottom right looks older than the woman at the top, and therefore Galla Placidia, with the younger woman being Honoria. Does anyone actually know? The coin portraits are no help at all. Djnjwd23:40, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
There is a possible copyright violation. Many sentences in this text are very similar to the entry "Galla Placidia" of Medieval Italy: An Encyclopedia, by Christopher Kleinhenz et al., ISBN0415939305, p. 396. --Sjappé (talk) 23:25, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've read the discussion, and see no reason to put the picture back up. It's very doubtful that that is Galla Placidia. FilipeS (talk) 16:40, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It may be that her personal beliefs on Christianity were known and later were confirmed/documented by the council - the source should be read in detail to determine this. 50.111.6.149 (talk) 17:44, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I am aware this is somewhat resurrecting a dead thread, but Placidia's views were communicated to the council via letters she wrote before her death. Though we don't know exactly how much her (and through Placidia, the WRE) views influenced the council, we do know she supported the eventual outcome. Quotes are all from "Rome's Christian Empress: by Joyce Salisbury, page 191-193:
Leo heard the conclusion of this council, which he called the “robber synod,” and threw himself in tears at Placidia’s feet to ask her and the family to intervene with Emperor Theodosius and Pulcheria. The court wrote a flurry of letters to the East. Placidia wrote to Theodosius and Pulcheria; Eudoxia wrote to her father, the emperor, and Theodosius responded to both. Valentinian, too, wrote to his coemperor. Placidia’s family all called for Theodosius to call a new synod to reconsider the council’s findings, and Theodosius’s reply was a stern reprimand, probably composed by the eunuch Chrysaphius, saying that the council at Ephesus had come to the correct conclusion and there was no reason to overturn it... Placidia did not live to see the full resolution of this controversy, but it was addressed in accordance with the wishes she expressed in her letters. Pope Leo’s stand was upheld, and his status as a leader of the church over the patriarchs was enhanced.
In addition to Attila (2001) with Alice Krige as Galla Placidia, she
was played in at least two other films. Attila the Hun, 1955, Italy,
played by Colette Regis. Revenge of the Barbarians, 1960, Italy, played
by Daniela Rocca. See Epic Films, by Gary Allen Smith, 2nd ed., 2004. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.196.1.98 (talk) 23:28, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have edited the dates of birth to introduce a greater range of possibilities, following Sivan (2011) and in particular Rebenich (1985), who argues very convincingly for AD392-3, a suggestion followed most recently by Doyle (2017). I have also removed the name Aelia from the main titles, as explained in the text, following Oost (1968) and Hollum (1982). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nathross (talk • contribs) 13:08, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
