	If Livia were in fandom, she'd be like MsScribe--except she'd never be found out and all her rivals would have dropped dead of various causes not traceable to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Until her disgraced grandson penned a devastating expose generations later, that is. It wouldn't matter then, though, because she's still a badass. She probably poisoned his mushrooms decades in advance. is a Livia fangirl (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Livia Drusilla was the last wife of the first Roman Emperor, Caesar Augustus. She gave birth to Tiberius, who would eventually follow Augustus as total leader of the Roman Empire.

She was also in all ways a badass. Robert Graves' I, Claudius novels, while very well-written and entertaining works, completely demonized her, speculating that she was behind every premature death in the Julio-Claudian family from Marcellus, first son-in-law of Augustus, to her two young grandchildren. Most modern historians disbelieve this theory, as Graves based his novels almost entirely off of The Twelve Caesars, also known as a gossip rag for the ancients :o)

This is probably more than you wanted to know, so, in conclusion: she is my ancient Roman girlfriend. *hearts*

	That's Sian Phillips as Livia, from the BBC adaptation of I, Claudius - it's quite brilliant, and it has a lot of very good actors. (Reply to this)(Parent)

My icon is the same actress with several pounds fewer of aging make-up. The line on it comes from a "pep-talk" she gave to some gladiators she'd hired to perform some combats in honor of one of her sons. Something to the effect that she knows all the tricks they use to put on a bloody show while avoiding getting killed for real, and they'd better not do any "pretend dying" on her nickle if they know what's good for them and their families.

	It seems relevant to mention that posting under one account after you've been banned under another account is also against the rules, not to mention sneaky and disreputable. ^_^ (Replies frozen)(Parent)(Thread)

	I'm not sure, as I was asleep at the time, but from the posts that I had read before I went to bed, she was probably banned fot persistently accusing BP and BP members for trolling with no proof. Even though members are encouraged not to troll. I am a complete outsider and reading every thing after the fact, so I can't say if this is indeed the case. (Replies frozen)(Parent)(Thread)

	The sad part? If they'd couched their questions as real questions worthy of discussion and then not tried to derail the entire thing with spin I bet they'd have had their bans rescinded eventually. The sock-puppets coming back to wank sort of clinched the deal. Why create the PyrateJenniDisinformationSociety? (Reply to this)(Parent)
