If you read literally any history book on this period of Roman history it’ll tell you that at the start, the biggest draw of marrying Livia was her family prestige. The Julius family was old and patrician, but had nowhere near the auctoritas and gravitas the Claudians did And it was Caesar who claimed the descent from Venus because he could and of course he did
I’m really enjoying Augustus and Livia’s dynamic
Yeah, they had such great scenes in episodes 1-2!
Love your channel and content girl!😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
Augustus' family was just as prestigious so this is BS. They even believed they were descendants of Venus.

Have you ever seen the movie: Young Catherine the great (1991) movie ?
Yes I have
@@Lily1127channel What do you think about it ?
I think I liked it when I saw it, although it is quite inaccurate and has some ridiculous costumes. But I liked Ormond's Catherine.
