Servilia (wife of Lucullus)

Servilia, full younger sister of Servilia Caeponis and second wife of Lucullus. He married her on his return from the Third Mithridatic War, after divorcing his first wife Clodia. She bore Lucullus a son, but, like her sister, she was faithless to her husband ; and the latter, after putting up with her conduct for some time from regard to M. Cato Uticensis, her half-brother, at length divorced her.

On the outbreak of the civil war in 49 BC, she accompanied M. Cato, with her child, to Sicily, and from thence to Asia, where Cato left her behind in Rhodes, while he went to join Pompey.
