Livia Coloring Page

Livia was married to Augustus for more than fifty years, and he trusted her advice. Roman women couldn’t hold office, but Livia had a lot of influence behind the scenes, and she helped plan who would rule after Augustus. Her son Tiberius became the next emperor.

When she died, her grandson Claudius, who later became emperor himself, had her declared a goddess. Some Roman writers said she was ruthless, but historians today think many of those stories were just gossip.
