I AM LIVIA 🕊 is a historical fiction tale of Li I AM LIVIA 🕊 is a historical fiction tale of Livia Drusilla (aka Julia Augusta) in Ancient Rome 🏛 starting her story and ascent at a young age. Livia is considered the First Lady ✨ of Imperial Rome. She's the third wife and close advisor of Roman Emperor Augustus Caesar (Octavian), mother of Emperor Tiberius, and grandmother of Emperor Claudius. 😅 In novels and films Livia is mostly positioned as a villainess 🦹‍♀ but in this tale "I am Livia" by Phyllis T. Smith (her debut novel) a different type of character is presented. If you enjoy 🤩 historical fiction around figures in ancient history and open to see another potential side of Livia then this book 📚 is worth considering. 📣 Rome celebrated 🎉 the 2000th anniversary of Emperor Augustus’ death. Special events and openings were launched that included the opening of the ‘House of Augustus and Livia’ on Palatine Hill. 🎟 Next time you travel to Rome go check it out (all on pre-booked tours). Are you a fan of historical fiction? If so what’s one of your favorites?
