Description
  Publication Date: September, 2002
  Livia (58 BC-29
AD), the wife of the first Roman emperor, Caesar Augustus, and mother of the second, Tiberius, wielded power at the
centre of Roman politics for most of her long life. Livia has been portrayed as a cunning and sinister schemer, but in
this biography (the first in English devoted to her) Livia emerges as a much more complex individual. Achieving
influence unprecedented for a woman, she won support and even affection from her contemporaries and was widely revered
after her death. Anthony A. Barrett, author of acclaimed biographies of Caligula and Agrippina, here examines Livia's
life and her role in Roman politics. He recounts the events of her life, from her early days as a member of the wealthy
and powerful Claudian family through her final conflicts with the new Emperor Tiberius. Barrett also considers how Livia
helped shape the pattern of Roman government that prevailed for the next four centuries.
  
  Editorial Review
  From Library
Journal
  Barrett, who has written biographies of Caligula and Agrippina, here reconstructs the life of
a noteworthy Roman historical figure about whom little direct information is available. Livia maintained a "deliberate
reserve" throughout her life and was steadfastly committed to being the Emperor Augustus's wife. Much has been suggested
about the influence she had on her husband during his tenure, and common belief holds that she deliberately poisoned his
successors. Barrett counters the mostly negative attacks on her character, arguing that much of what has been said about
her is spurious. As such, those responsible for documenting the imperial family, such as the historian Tacitus, get
scrutinized. Barrett explores other facets of Livia's personality, such as her interest in horticulture and political
patronage. The book presents the general politics of the time and highlights other key figures from imperial Rome.
Surprisingly, Livia was highly regarded by the Roman Senate, as well as by other peers, who often commended her for her
generosity. Barrett's work is probably denser and more detailed than would interest the average reader, but for those
keenly interested in studying ancient Rome it comes as a welcome addition to the genre. Recommended for academic
libraries. Isabel Coates, CCRA-Toronto West Tax Office, Mississauga, Ont.

  Review
 
Barrett is an assured and often amusing guide. -- Mark Golden, Globe and Mail (Toronto)

 
  Barrett's excellent life of Livia…forms a worthy companion to his earlier biography,
Agrippina. -- (Choice)
  
  From the Back
Cover
  "In his previous books on Caligula and Agrippina, Anthony Barrett has amply proven his
competence as an imperial biographer. Now he adds 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
