In 160 CE, Regilla was murdered by her husband Herodes Atticus. You almost certainly know Herodes Atticus at least a little bit if you’ve ever been to Athens or seen photos of the very well-preserved, and still used, theatre built into the side of the Acropolis hill: that’s Herodes Atticus’ theatre. It’s enormous and it was built by a private citizen during the Roman era to honour the wife he killed: Regilla Atticus.
