May 3, 40 BC-
My family and I are getting ready to leave our home here in Italy. Tiberius Claudius Nero (my husband) says that we need to leave so that we can escape Octavian's proscriptions (condemnation of enemies of the state). When we get to Sicily, Tiberius says that we need to join Sextus Pompeius. If we're lucky, we'll get there without too much trouble. May the gods help us!
Dum cras (until tomorrow),
Livia Drusilla
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Author's Note:
Livia and her family escaped Italy in 40 BC to get away from Ocativian's (yes, the Octavian she would later marry) proscriptions. Later, they moved onto Greece and eventually returned to Rome in 39 BC.
