About Lucilia

Lucilia is believed to have been the wife of the Roman philosopher Lucretius, though there is little evidence of their relationship, let alone marriage. Moreover, Lucilia was not identified with the wife of Lucretius until many centuries after the latter's death. In Walter Map's twelfth-century work De nugis curialium, "Lucilia" is the name of a woman who murders her husband by giving him a potion that causes him to go insane. Not until 1511, in the vita of Pius Bononiensis, was Lucilia associated with Lucretius. Some have even questioned whether this association was invented for the sake of writing, that is, to maintain literary style.
