Lesbia

Lesbia was the literary pseudonym used by the Roman poet Gaius Valerius Catullus ( 84–54 BC) to refer to his lover. Lesbia is traditionally identified with Clodia, the wife of Quintus Caecilius Metellus Celer and sister of Publius Clodius Pulcher; her conduct and motives are maligned in Cicero's extant speech Pro Caelio, delivered in 56 BC.
