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.

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.
