Description: (Empress)
Livia Drusilla was a Roman empress from 27 BC to AD 14. Known as Julia Augusta after her adoption into the Julian family, she became empress when her husband Octavian was granted the title Augustus in 27 BC. Livia served as an influential confidant of Augustus and was rumored to have played a role in the deaths of some of his relatives. After Augustus' death, Livia continued to exert political influence as the mother of Emperor Tiberius. She was later deified by Emperor Claudius in AD 42.
