Servilia (c. 100 BC – after 42 BC)[2] was a Roman matron from a distinguished family, the Servilii Caepiones. She was the daughter of Quintus Servilius Caepio and Livia, thus the maternal half-sister of Cato the Younger. She married Marcus Junius Brutus, with whom she had a son, the Brutus who, along with others in the Senate, assassinated Julius Caesar. After her first husband's death in 77, she married Decimus Junius Silanus,[3][4] and with him had a son and three daughters.
She gained fame as the mistress of Julius Caesar,[5] whom her son Brutus and son-in-law Gaius Cassius Longinus would assassinate in 44 BC. Her affair with Caesar seems to have been publicly known in Rome at the time.[5] Plutarch stated that she in turn was madly in love with Caesar.[6] The relationship between the two probably started in 59 BC, after the death of Servilia's second husband[7] although Plutarch implied it began when they were teenagers.[6]
