Favourite Julio claudian couples?

Augustus and Livia:

I have been a Livia stan since I read her biography and she is an icon that demanded love from the Caesar Augustus. Yes I am drawing my own conclusion from mediocre at best historical sources, but they really did love each other. He cared about her opinion enough he took notes when he asked her thoughts on matters of state, he was very affectionate when addressing her in letters, and they ended up staying together for 50+ years despite never having children (which was actually considered grounds for friendly/no one at fault divorce in Rome). He also allowed her a lot of autonomy for a woman and made sure she was set financially after he died. I think she knew how to play her part and really did run things behind the scenes.

Germanicus and Agrippina:

The greatest Emperor and Empress there never was. While I think they may have been a little wary of marrying each other at first (they basically grew up together), it does seem that they grew to love each other. Augustus clearly favored Agrippina (evidenced that she wasn’t forced to marry as a pre-teen to an old man) and I get the impression that Augustus wished she was a male because she had the same drive and ambition as her brothers and he could have named her heir. I think it’s sweet that Germanicus insisted on having her follow him into war zones (maybe because he loved her so much) and that she was brave enough and willing to risk going with him. Agrippina really went to her grave defending her husband’s honor and trying to seek justice. (I personally don’t think Tiberius gave the orders if it was poisoning, but it’s hard to not blame him for not seeing through Sejanus’ manipulation). I think they need more recognition in history because he seemed like a genuine, kind Roman and she really girlbossed it up.

And I’m going to give a special mention to Antonia and Drusus:

I feel like, while not a lot is written about them, they clearly loved each other as she was very adamant about not wanting to remarry despite Augustus’ insistence and being a very young widow. It seems in writings of the time that Augustus favored Drusus over Tiberius so the circumstances of his death were very sad and tragic. And despite Antonia’s flaws (aka her dislike of her son Claudius) she somewhat laid the blueprint that Agrippina followed when Germanicus died and she clearly was second to Livia when it came to important women in Rome.

thanks for answering my question! Whenever you have more time for requests for Domina can you do the outfits of the kids generation like Marcella, Antonina, Antonia, Vipsania and Julia and maybe some of the guys too? Thank you!! :)

Sure. I still have an outstanding request from season 01 about Marcella and Antonia anyway, so I will combine these. I already did Julia's from the first season btw.

Who of the many women that surrounded Mark Antony could you see yourself being FRIENDS with? Not who you admire the most but who you'd enjoy drinks and dishing the dirt with the most

It's honestly kind of hilarious how the "Julio-Claudian" Dynasty is really a bunch of Antonians. Over half of the emperors and most of the influential women of the family are all Antonians

Emperor Claudius died on this day in 54 AD.

He was 63 and had reigned for 13 years and 9 months. He was allegedly murdered by poison, either via mushrooms he ate or on a feather. His wife and niece, Agrippina the Younger, was the chief suspect.

Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, commonly known as Claudius, was the fourth Roman emperor, reigning from AD 41 to 54. He was born on August 1, 10 BC in Lugdunum, Gaul (modern-day Lyon, France). Claudius was the grandson of Triumvir Marcus Antonius through his daughter, Antonia minor. He was the first Roman emperor to be born outside of Italy. He was a member of the Julio-Claudian dynasty and was declared emperor by the Praetorian Guard after Caligula’s assassination. Despite his lack of experience, Claudius was an able and efficient administrator. He expanded the imperial bureaucracy to include freedmen and helped restore the empire’s finances after the excesses of Caligula’s reign. He was also an ambitious builder, constructing new roads, aqueducts, and canals across the Empire. During his reign, the Empire started its successful conquest of Britain.

6 and 8 for the history ask meme!

I sorry I took so long to answer this! I kept putting off answering and then I kind of forgot.

6. HF I never expected to like as much as I do

I think it has to be Claudius. For context, we're going to have to back up a few years.

When I was a little hellaboo and loved ancient Greece and stuff, I vowed NEVER EVER to like ancient Rome. I HATED ancient Rome and I was always like "Omg I'd never forgive myself if I started liking Roman history! Ancient Rome is the worst and ancient Greece is the best and it's everyone's problem!" Yes, I was that type of ancient Greece fan :(

And then I found out about Claudius and fell in love with him. Lol!

8. An obscure HF who needs more love

Britannicus!

I'd kill for a historical fiction novel—or any historical media for that matter—from his perspective. It would be so interesting! He's often kind of forgotten in the late Julio-Claudian dynasty. If he ever shows up in historical fiction, he's mostly just used as a little side piece to show how evil Nero and/or Agrippina are. We never often get to see what he thinks and details about him and stuff like that, which is a shame.

I think historical fiction about him has so many opportunities to be amazing and interesting! I liked Kento Ankokuden Cestvs because it actually got into a bit of detail about Brit and his emotions and his relationship with Octavia. Alas, Britannicus is only a minor character in it.

With actual non-fiction historical works, not going to lie, I can't blame them for not going very in depth with Britannicus. Because honestly, we don't know that much about him. He was also a child and not very important most of the time. So I totally understand why the modern sources about him are a little sparse.

But, I am yet to find a true deep dive into whether he was poisoned or not in English! At least, one I'm happy with. Anthony A. Barrett doesn't count; he wrote like one paragraph and failed to go into detail. Anyway, I do think maybe we Anglophones should step up a little with Britannicus in academia. The French are beating us!

"Well why do you like Britannicus so much?" you might ask. And I don't know honestly. I liked him for a reason, but at some point, I forgot that reason and continued liking him. And now, I've just been liking him for so long that of course I'm going to continue liking him.

Honestly adding Agrippina Minor to my list of historical women I need tattoos of

[liviasdrusillas]

Antonia, Livia's daughter-in-law, obviously enjoyed her company. After the death of Drusus, she chose to remain a univira and live close to Livia. Livia kept Julia the Younger going during her long exile (hypocritically, according to Tacitus), with financial and probably emotional support as well. Julia's daughter, Agrippina the Elder, was shielded from Sejanus by Livia.

I was tagged by @vera-dauriac!

✨When you get this, you have to put 5 songs you actually listen to, then tag 10 of your followers✨ (non-obligatory)

CLASSICAL MUSIC EDITION because you all can tell where my brain has been recently... tagging whoever wants to do it!

1. Handel's Agrippina, duet between Ottone and Poppea, 'No, no, ch'io non apprezzo' ; performed by Iestyn Davies and Elsa Benoit, Bayerische Staatsoper, 2019. Handel did not write a single bad duet, and this is one of the most stunning. Some modern productions cut it or separate it into 2 solo arias based on past performance variants, which is a real shame.

2. Sergei Rachmaninoff, 'The Isle of the Dead,' Op. 29. The shifts from 2-3 to 3-2 rhythms in the overall 5-4 scheme drive me feral, and the whole piece is incredibly cinematic and evocative. Plus, water music is the best music.

3. Ralph Vaughan Williams, 'Job.' I was lucky enough to attend a weekend of this week's Bard Festival, where I discovered to general delight that the stereotypical (and lovely!) Lark Ascending / Theme of Thomas Tallis RVW represents maybe 5% of his overall work, which is varied, strange, and always fascinating. This was performed to a presentation of Blake's drawings on the Old Testament story and it was breathtaking.

4. Louis Vierne, Finale of Organ Symphony No. 1 in D Minor. I mean. This is wall-shaking. I adore it.

5. Philip Glass, Akhnaten Act 1, Scene 3: Window of Appearances. Can you tell yet that I love a good long crescendo?
