Matidia
Fun Fact: Matidia was Plotina’s niece, who had a big influence on young Hadrian. Even more of an influence perhaps, was Sabina, Matidia’s daughter, whom he first met when he was about ten years old and she had just been born. Sabina eventually became Hadrian’s wife, though there was perhaps no great love between them.
