Livia
58 B.C.-29 A.D.
One of the most powerful women of the ancient world, Livia played an important role in the administration of the Roman Empire during the reign of her husband Augustus (the first Roman Emperor) and his successor Tiberius, who was her son from another marriage. By all accounts, Livia wielded much power during both of these reigns, though eventually she had a falling out with Tiberius near the end of her life.
