Livia—wife of the first Roman emperor; Caesar Augustus; and mother of the second; Tiberius— wielded extraordinary power at the center of Roman politics. In this biography of Livia; the first in English; Anthony Barrett sets aside the portrait of a cunning and sinister schemer to reveal Livia as a complex figure whose enduring political influence helped shape Roman government long after her death."An excellent biography of Livia-as appealing to the general reader as it is satisfying to the scholar."—Colin M. Wells; Trinity University; San Antonio"In reading Anthony Barrett’s biography of Livia; I not only learned about this remarkable woman; but also gained a meaningful appreciation of life and society in her time."—Howard Alper; President; The Royal Society of Canada"First-rate."—Mary Beard; Times Literary Supplement
