What’s in a name?
There once was an empress of the Western Roman Empire way back in the late 4th century, seated in the town of Ravenna on the Adriatic Coast of Italy. Her name was Galla Placidia. There is a beautiful mausoleum dedicated to her, situated right next to the equally magnificent basilica, also in Ravenna.
