Eutropia began as a sister of Constantine, her imperial connections securing her marriage to the senator Nepotianus. Through this union she became mother to a son who would attempt to claim power. Her life ended tragically when she was executed alongside her son during the proscription that followed his failed usurpation.
Description
A mature Roman noblewoman with the refined features and composed demeanor expected of imperial lineage. Her dark hair is arranged in the elaborate styles of Roman aristocracy, and she carries herself with the natural authority of one born to privilege. She wears the fine silk garments and gold adornments befitting her station as both princess and senator's wife.
