Biography: Lucilla (born in 149 A.D.) was the daughter of Marcus Aurelius and Faustina Junior, who married Lucius Verus in 165 A.D. Lucilla and Verus had three children who didn't play a role in the history. After his death Lucilla remained influential through the marriage of Pompeianus - who was a senator. In 182 A.D. a plot to overthrow Commodus was uncovered in which she played a role and she was subsequently banished to the island of Capri. Commodus had her executed shortly afterwards.
