Editing Livia gens (section)

===Livii Drusi===
* Livius Drusus, according to Suetonius, a [[promagistrate|propraetor]] in [[Gaul]], who defeated the chieftain Drausus in single combat, thereby earning his surname. He brought back the gold taken by the Senones as the price of departing Rome in 390 BC, thereby avenging the Gallic sack of the city. Pighius conjectures that he was the son of Marcus Livius Denter, consul in 302 BC, which would agree with the probable date of his struggle with Drausus, in 283.<ref name="Suetonius Tiberius 3"/><ref>Pighius, ''Annales'', vol. I, p. 416.</ref><ref name="DGRBM Drusus">''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', vol.

* Marcus Livius M. f. Drusus Aemilianus or Mamilianus, father of the consul of 147. His agnomen suggests, but does not prove, that he was adopted from either the [[Aemilia gens|Aemilii]] or the [[Mamilia gens|Mamilii]].{{efn-lr|Which version of his name is correct is uncertain, as the [[Fasti Capitolini]] are broken in the place where his name appears. As for whether he was the natural or adopted son of Marcus Livius Drusus, an agnomen such as ''Aemilianus'' or ''Mamilianus'' typically indicates adoption, but it could also signify descent through the female line, particularly if his father were married more than once.<ref name="DGRBM Drusus"/><ref>''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities'', p. 641 ("Nomen").</ref>}}<ref name="DGRBM Drusus"/>
* [[Gaius Livius Drusus (consul)|Gaius Livius M. f. M. n. Drusus]], consul in 147 BC.

* [[Gaius Livius Drusus (jurist)|Gaius Livius C. f. M. n. Drusus]], known for his friendliness, courtesy, and persuasiveness, which he shared with his brother.

* [[Marcus Livius Drusus (consul)|Marcus Livius C. f. M. n. Drusus]], [[tribune of the plebs]] in 122 BC, opposed the measures of his colleague, [[Gaius Gracchus]], and undermined his authority by proposing similar measures for which the ''optimates'', the aristocratic party of the [[Roman Senate|Senate]] could take credit. He was consul in 112, and perhaps triumphed over the [[Scordisci]] in the following year. He is probably the [[Roman censor|censor]] of 109 BC, who died during his year of office.<ref>Appian, ''Bellum Civile, i. 23.</ref><ref name="Suetonius Tiberius 3"/><ref>Plutarch, "The Life of Gaius Gracchus", 8–11; ''Moralia'', "Quaestiones Romanae" vii. p. 119 (ed.

* Livia C. f. M. n., daughter of the consul of 147 BC. She married [[Publius Rutilius Rufus]] and became the mother of [[Publius Rutilius Nudus]]. She was noted by the Roman historians Valerius Maximus and Pliny for her longevity, both recorded that she lived to be 97.<ref>{{Cite book |title=Terentia, Tullia and Publilia: The Women of Cicero's Family |last=Treggiari |first=Susan |author-link=Susan Treggiari |publisher=Routledge |year=2007 |isbn=9781134264575 |edition=illustrated |pages=152 |series=Women of the Ancient World}}</ref>
* [[Marcus Livius Drusus (reformer)|Marcus Livius M. f. C. n. Drusus]], one of the most influential figures in Roman politics in the years leading up to the [[Marsic War|Social War]]. He went to great lengths to win over the Senate, espousing the party of the ''[[optimates]]'', but then as tribune of the plebs in BC 91, he sought to conciliate the people by passing the various measures of the [[Gracchi]]. He won over the [[socii]] by promising them the rights of [[Roman citizenship]], and passed a law to fill up the ranks of the Senate with [[equites]]. But he made a violent enemy of the consul, [[Lucius Marcius Philippus (consul 91 BC)|Lucius Marcius Philippus]], who had his measures declared void ''ab initio''. Drusus was assassinated in his house just as civil war began to break out.<ref>''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', vol.

* (Gaius) Livius M. f. C. n. Drusus, afterwards [[Mamercus Aemilius Lepidus Livianus]], consul in 77 BC, was brother of the tribune Marcus and adopted into the [[Aemilii Lepidi]]. He was a supporter of [[Sulla]]'s party, the ''optimates'', but was one of those who had persuaded Sulla to spare the life of the future dictator, [[Julius Caesar]].<ref>Suetonius, "The Life of Caesar", 1.</ref><ref>Cicero, ''Brutus'', 47; ''De Officiis'', ii, 17.</ref><ref>Obsequens, 119.</ref><ref>Valerius Maximus, vii. 7. § 6.</ref><ref>Broughton, vol.

* [[Livia (mother of Cato)|Livia M. f. C. n.]], sister of the tribune, married [[Quintus Servilius Caepio (quaestor 103 BC)|Quintus Servilius Caepio]], whose sister, Servilia, married Drusus. Caepio became her brother's bitter opponent, and she divorced him, marrying [[Marcus Porcius Cato (father of Cato the Younger)|Marcus Porcius Cato]]. Her sons were [[Gnaeus Servilius Caepio (brother of Cato)|Gnaeus Servilius Caepio]] and [[Cato the Younger]]; her eldest daughter [[Servilia (mother of Brutus)|Servilia Major]] was the mistress of [[Julius Caesar]] as well as the mother of [[Marcus Junius Brutus|Brutus]] and mother-in-law of [[Gaius Cassius Longinus|Cassius]], the [[assassination of Julius Caesar|assassins of Caesar]]; her middle daughter was [[Servilia (wife of Lucullus)|Servilia Minor]] the wife of [[Lucullus]]; her youngest daughter [[Porcia (sister of Cato the Younger)|Porcia]] married [[Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus (consul 54 BC)|Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus]] the consul of 54 BC and became the ancestress of emperor [[Nero]].<ref>Cicero, ''Brutus'', 62.</ref><ref>Valerius Maximus, iii. 1. § 2.</ref>
* Livia (M. f. M. n.), a woman who expressed interest in adopting [[Publius Cornelius Dolabella (consul 44 BC)|Publius Cornelius Dolabella]] the consul of 44 BC. She may have been a daughter of Drusus the tribune of 91 BC and Servilia.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Lindsay |first=Hugh |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647846259 |title=Adoption in the Roman world |date=2009 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=978-0-511-65821-1 |location=Cambridge |oclc=647846259}}</ref>
* [[Marcus Livius Drusus Claudianus|Marcus Livius M. f. M. n. Drusus Claudianus]], born as ''Appius Claudius Pulcher'', was adopted by one of the Livii Drusi, apparently the tribune Marcus.{{efn-lr|Pighius, followed by [[:fr:Jean Foy-Vaillant|Vaillant]], makes him the son of Gaius Livius Drusus, consul in 147 BC, which cannot be justified on chronological grounds.<ref>Pighius, ''Annales'', iii. p. 21.</ref><ref>Vaillant, ''Numismata Imperatorum'', ii. 51.</ref><ref>''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', vol.

Proscribed by the [[Second Triumvirate|triumvirs]], he took his own life after the [[Battle of Philippi]]. He was the father of [[Livia Drusilla]], Roman empress, and the grandfather of Tiberius.<ref name="Suetonius Tiberius 3"/><ref>Cassius Dio, xlviii. 44.</ref><ref>Velleius Paterculus, ii. 71.</ref><ref>Aurelius Victor, ''De Viris Illustribus'', 80.</ref><ref>Plutarch, "The Life of Cato the Younger", i. 2.</ref>
* [[Gaius Livius Drusus (brother of Drusilla)|Gaius Livius (M. f. M. n. Drusus)]], possibly the son of Claudianus and elder brother of empress Livia. His existence can be inferred from an inscription of his daughter Livia C. f. Pulchra. He might have died before 42 as his father adopted another son before he died at the [[Battle of Philippi]].<ref>{{Cite book|title=Miscellanea Greca e Romana|last=Istituto italiana per la storia antica|publisher=University of Wisconsin - Madison|year=1968|location=Rome|pages=352–353|series=Studi pubblicati dall'Istituto italiano per la storia antica|volume=2–3}}</ref>
* [[Livia|Livia M. f. M. n. Drusilla]], married first [[Tiberius Claudius Nero (praetor 42 BC)|Tiberius Claudius Nero]], and second [[Augustus|Octavian]], the future emperor Augustus. She was the mother of the emperor [[Tiberius]], and of the general [[Nero Claudius Drusus|Drusus the Elder]], as well as the grandmother and great-grandmother of the emperors [[Claudius]] and [[Caligula]], both of whom she helped raise.<ref>Tacitus, ''Annales'', i. 3, 5, 8, 10, 14; v. 1, 2.</ref><ref>Casius Dio, liii. 33, lvii. 12, lviii. 2, lix. 1, 2, lx. 5.</ref><ref>Pliny the Elder, ''Naturalis Historia'', xiv. 8.</ref><ref>Suetonius, "The Life of Tiberius", 50, 51.</ref>
* [[Marcus Livius Drusus Libo|Marcus Livius M. f. M. n. Drusus Libo]], apparently born a member of the [[Scribonii Libones]], and adopted by one of the Livii Drusi, generally supposed to be Claudianus, although there are several uncertain details in his relationships to the other Livii Drusi and Scribonii. He was [[aedile]] about 28 BC, and consul in 15 BC.<ref>''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology'', vol.

Pulchra, a woman recorded in inscription who based on her name is presumed to have been a granddaughter of Drusus Claudianus and niece of empress Livia.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Liverpool Classical Monthly|last=Pinsent|first=John|publisher=Indiana University|year=1976|pages=2|volume=1-2}}</ref>
* Livia M. f. M. n. "Scriboniana", daughter of Marcus Livius Drusus Libo and mother of [[Livia Medullina]], the fiancee of the young [[Claudius]] who died before they could be married.<ref>Syme, 1989. page 259</ref>
* [[Marcus Scribonius Libo|Lucius Scribonius Libo Drusus]], generally supposed to be the son (or grandson) of Marcus Livius Drusus Libo, was induced by the Senator and [[delator]] Firmius Catus to consult soothsayers with respect to his chances of attaining the empire. At first the accusations were ignored by Tiberius, but then he was brought to trial and, finding no hope of vindication, he took his own life.<ref>Tacitus, ''Annales'', ii. 27–32.</ref><ref>Suetonius, "The Life of Tiberius", 25.</ref><ref>Cassius Dio, vii. 15.</ref><ref>Seneca the Younger, ''Epistulae'', 70.</ref><ref>Velleius Paterculus, ii. 130.</ref>
