| Pulman presents Livia, PR guru. Graves is not the source for this scene as he has Tiberius address the delegation and Livia behave as a proper Roman matron should. There is however, one ancient source who supports Jack's calculating Livia. Tacitus says that she locked down Nola, placing a guard around the house and sending out favorable press releases concerning Augustus' condition, buying time until Tiberius' accession was secure. |
