Notes: Lucilla was the second daughter of Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius and became Roman Empress through her marriage to his co-emperor, Lucius Verus. Following Verus's early death, her status declined under the subsequent reign of her volatile younger brother, Commodus, sparking intense political friction within the imperial household. In 182 AD, driven by resentment over her lost prestige and power, Lucilla orchestrated a high-stakes senatorial conspiracy to assassinate Commodus. The plot failed catastrophically, resulting in her swift banishment to the island of Capri, where she was subsequently executed by her brother's orders.
