In 161 Lucilla's father arranged a marriage for her with his co-ruler Lucius Verus. Verus, 18 years her senior, became her husband three years later in Ephesus in 164, and she received the title of Augusta and became a Roman Empress. Lucilla was an influential and respectable woman and she enjoyed her status. She spent much time in Rome, fulfilling her husband's duties as a co-ruler. When Verus died around 168/169, Lucilla lost her status as Empress.
In 182 Lucilla became involved in a plot to assassinate and replace her unstable brother Commodus. The plot failed, and Commodus exiled her to Capri - and had her executed a year later.
