Empress of Rome : the life of Livia

Dennison, Matthew2010
Books, Manuscripts
Livia has been vilified as the quintessence of the scheming Roman matriarch, poisoning her relatives to smooth her son's path to the throne. Matthew Dennison rescues the historical Livia from this crudely drawn caricature. He depicts a gifted, complex, and courageous woman whose true crime was not murder but the exercise of power.
