June 23, 35 BC-
Octavian has honored me publicly! He told yesterday that he has given me complete control over my finances! He is so good to me! You know what else? He has dedicated a statue to me. What a sweetie.
Dum cras,
Livia Drusilla

Author's Note:
Octavian, also Augustus, gave his wife a great honor in giving her complete control over her finances. Livia was always very faithful to Octavian and even spent some of her time making him clothes! She never wore excessive jewelry or costumes, and took good care of her sons and husband. No wonder he honored her! By the way, though the year is correct, the month and day of this honoring are not.
