Livia was the first empress of Rome, the wife and adviser of Augustus (Octavian), mother of Tiberius and grandmother of Claudius who deified her during his reign. Livia was one of the most iconic and powerful women in history, usually portrayed by ancient sources as a woman of proud and queenly attributes.
