Servilia Caepionis (1st century BC) is one of the few Roman women cited by ancient sources. She was a patrician, daughter of Quintus Servilius Caepio and Livia Drusa. By her mother, she was half-sister of Marcus Porcius Cato, the Younger. Servilia was brought up in the house of Marcus Livius Drusus, a maternal uncle, after her parents' scandalous divorce. She married Marcus Junius Brutus, a relative nobody in the political scene. From this marriage, Servilia had only one child: Brutus, one of Caesar's assassins. Some sources refer to the possibility of Caesar being his real father, but this is probably gossip because Caesar was fifteen years old at the time of Brutus' birth and the affair with his mother started some ten years after. . |
