Death of Livia

December 6, AD 29-
Hello. This is Tiberius. I don't really know how to put this nicely for all of you women, but Livia has died. Yes, I know that is a shock, but she fell ill and died a few months ago. I am sorry for the late notice, but I would have hoped you had heard.

That is all for now. And probably forever.
Gratias (Thank you),
Tiberius

Author's Note:
Livia has now died...well in AD 29. Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia detailing some her honors some years later, " It would not be until 13 years later in AD 42, under the reign of her grandson Claudius, that all her honours would be restored and her deification finally completed. Named Diva Augusta (The Divine Augusta), she received an elephant-drawn chariot to convey her image to all public games. A statue of her was set up in the temple of Augustus along with her husbands, races were held in her honour, and women were to invoke her name in their sacred oaths. Her Villa ad Gallinas Albas north of Rome is currently being excavated; its famous frescoes of imaginary garden views may be seen at National Museum of Rome. One of the most famous statues of Augustus - the Augustus of Prima Porta came from the grounds of the villa."
