She was accused by public voice in Rome of living in incest with her brother, and of poisoning her husband.

Cicero calls her afterward, in his defence of Caelius, "amica omnium." She had the nickname of Quadrantaria[276] given to her, because she frequented the public baths, at which the charge was a farthing.

It must be said also of her, either in praise or in dispraise, that she was the Lesbia who inspired the muse of Catullus.

It was rumored in Rome that she had endeavored to set her cap at Cicero.

Cicero in his raillery had not spared the lady.
