		They had a son who became Valentinian III, and a rather more strong-willed daughter, Justa Grata Honoria.
		Placidia's last notable public act was to convince her brother Valentinian III to exile not kill her for this.
		She died shortly afterwards at Rome in November 450, and did not live to see Attilla ravage Italy in 451-453 in a much more brutal campaign than the Goths had waged, using Justa's letter as their sole "legitimate" excuse.

	Constantius III - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Constantius reportedly intended to launch a campaign against the Eastern Empire to force recognition of his rights, but before anything could come of these plans, he died suddenly on September 2 after less than seven months as emperor.
		Constantius and Galla Placida had two children, the future emperor Valentinian III and Justa Grata Honoria.
		Constantius' success in rising from head of the dwindling Roman army to Imperial rank obviously influenced the actions of later holders of the patrician office, a list that includes Aëtius and Ricimer; however, only Petronius Maximus would ultimately make the same leap, and his reign would prove to be even shorter than Constantius'.

		But his sister Justa Grata Honoria had inherited from her mother some of the qualities we should expect to find in a granddaughter of Theodosius and a great-granddaughter of the first Valentinian.
		She was herself driven from the palace, and betrothed compulsorily to a certain Flavius Bassus Herculanus, a rich senator of excellent character, whose sobriety assured the Emperor that a dangerous wife would be unable to draw him into revolutionary schemes.
		The proposal of the Augusta Honoria was welcome to Attila, and was to determine his policy for the next three years.

		Posted by justa grata honoria at June 17, 2004 09:27 PM I have 3 kids.
		But I am not sure putting them in prison at ten's of thousand's of dollars a year and their kids in foster care is the most appropriate way to handle things.
