BIO   Livia Drusilla was married, pregnant, and the mother of a small son (later the second Roman emperor, Tiberius Caesar) when she caught the eye of Octavian.  He was also married and the nephew and adopted son of the assassinated Roman dictator, Julius Caesar.  Divorces were obtained on both sides, and Livia became the wife of the man who became Rome's first emperor (imperator), known to the world as Augustus Caesar.

Historians agree Livia was domineering and strong-willed.  She has been accused of the deaths of several imperial relatives (although her husband supported her so strongly he adopted her, his wife of 50 years, in his will, which gave her the title of Julia Augusta) and remained a thorn in Tiberius' side until her death.  Her grandson Claudius, the fourth emperor,  to whom she'd been unkind and unloving, had her deified.  Nancy

Livia comes out quite well in Augustus, the well written biography by Anthony Everitt, despite the fact that Everitt feels Livia quite probably poisoned her husband to ensure a neat and tidy succession.  Everitt says if Livis had killed anyone else, Augustus wouldn't have been so devoted.  Nancy

I've  discovered a series of mysteries by David Wishart that gives a different - if irreverent - version of events.  I believe the series begins with I, Virgil. but you'll enjoy reading them in any order if you like mouthy Roman detectives.  Nancy
