The recent thread on Julius Caesar has me thinking about Trajan, Hadrian and Plotina. There are, I think, two letters of Plotina (one to Hadrian and one to the Epicurean community in Athens [?]), and then Hadrian's reply/decree. Do we have these somewhere? I don't see much on Plotina here.

I see Cassius has a write-up here, I haven't read through it yet.

Great point. I know I have a blurb at NewEpcicurean on that letter from Plotina asking for help with the Epicurean school but we need that here, and to research this further.

Haven't look at that in a while and I remember now there was some doubt in my mind as to whether that photo was mislabeled.
As soon as I get to my desktop I will make sure we have a place for Plotina under the famous Epicureans section.
