Monday mood - Ioan Gruffudd as Horatio Hornblower (Hornblower, 2x01)

Livia Drusilla (58 BCE – CE 29) was the third and last wife of the emperor Augustus. She was from an old patrician family, the Claudii and was married in 43B CE to her cousin Tiberius Nero and had two sons with him, Tiberius and Drusus. Her first husband fought against the forces of Octavian, and they fled the proscriptions of 40 BCE. In 39 BCE they returned to Rome during the general amnesty and she was introduced to Octavian. According to ancient sources it was “love at first sight”, and Octavian divorced his wife Scribonia, on the day she gave birth to his only child, Julia. Nero was then persuaded by Octavian to divorce Livia and did so while she was six months pregnant with their second son Drusus. Three days after giving birth to Drusus, Livia and Octavian were married on 14 January 38 BCE. Despite having no children together, they remained married for 51 years and she was considered Augustus’ closest confidante and advisor. She also played a significant role in the succession after Augustus and it was ultimately her elder son Tiberius, who became emperor after Augustus died in CE 14. It was only after Octavia’s death in 11 BCE, that Livia seems to have become more prominent in politics, at least visibly, and contrary to her sisterin-law, she has often been vilified by the ancient writers, especially Tacitus. She received numerous honours before and after her death and her influence on the Julio-Claudian clan and the future of Rome, cannot be denied.
