Livia, Drusilla, later called Julia Augusta 58BC-AD29
Roman empress

She was the third wife of Emperor Augustus, whom she married in 38BC after divorcing her first husband Tiberius Claudius Nero. From her first marriage she had two children, Tiberius the future emperor (who succeeded Augustus), and Nero Claudius Drusus, but none from her marriage with Augustus. She was believed to have influence over Augustus, cunningly promoting the interests of her sons at the expense of Augustus's kinsmen, by fair or foul means. She was adopted into the Julian family by Augustus at his death in AD14, and changed her name to Julia Augusta. Relations with her son Tiberius after his accession became strained, as she sought to exert influence, and when she died he did not execute her will or allow her to be deified. She was deified (AD42) by her grandson Claudius.
