Product Description

Empress of Rome is a br&-new biography of one of the most fascinating, perplexing & powerful figures of the ancient world: the empress Livia. Second wife of the emperor Augustus & the mother of his successor Tiberius, Livia has been vilified by posterity (most notably by Tacitus & Robert Graves) as the quintessence of the scheming Roman matriarch, poisoning her relatives one by one to smooth her son's path to the imperial throne. In this elegant & rigorously researched biography, Matthew Dennison rescues the historical Livia from this crudely drawn caricature of the popular imagination. He depicts a complex, courageous & richly gifted woman whose true crime was not was not murder but the exercise of power, & who, in a male-dominated society, had the energy to create for herself both a prominent public profile & a significant sphere of political influence.
