Livia murders with vague indifference but when she gets tomatoes in her face she screams "you wait until my husband gets home".(minute 41:20),,, Women....
Although this is a superbly written work, and that I am forever in Robert Grave's debt for getting me interested in Roman History in the first place - please, everyone, bear in mind that this is a work of historical FICTION. No responsible historian would suggest for a minute that Livia was anything other than a noble, diligent and well respected Roman woman. As Allan Massie says ... the character of Livia presented here is a compound of venomous and unhistorical slanders.
Footnote: Octavia, Augustus sister. Was married to Mark Antony. After his death she took over Guardianship over his Children by Fulvia, and Cleopatra.
Except for Marcus Antonius Antyllus by Fulvia, And Caesarion by Cleopatra/Julis Caesar. They killed on orders of Augustus. Each could have claim Rome, had they lived.
The other Children Octavia brought up and educated as any child of The Imperial Court.
I have watched this 10 times. The Acting is beyond Perfection!! No matter if you Love or Hate The Character. The Actor or Actress playing the part, Is so Outstanding you believe they are the Character. AAA+++
@zeusbark , yes thankyou zeusbark - the last two days while ive been off work have been brilliant thanks to I Claudius and yourself :-) I had'nt seen this since it was on BBC television in the 70's .
amazing cast ,amazing series - and a generous youtuber who has shared them with us .
