Lucilla Augusta, also known as Annia Aurelia Galeria Lucilla, was a prominent figure in Roman history. She was the daughter of Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius and his wife Faustina the Younger. Lucilla was born in AD 148 and belonged to the influential Antonine dynasty.
In AD 164, Lucilla married Lucius Verus, who was co-emperor with her father Marcus Aurelius. However, her marriage to Verus was not a happy one, although they three children. After the death of her father Marcus Aurelius in AD 180 AD, her brother Commodus became the sole emperor. However, Lucilla and Commodus had a strained relationship, and she was eventually involved in a plot to assassinate him. The conspiracy was discovered, and Lucilla was exiled to the island of Capri, where she was executed in AD 182.
