Abstract
This chapter investigates how the empress Livia is represented as mourning figure in Latin literature. It focuses on Tacitus' Annals, Seneca's Consolation to Marcia and the pseudo Ovid Consolation to Livia. It contrasts how mourning is represented in different literary genres, and relates this to both the characterisation of Livia and the changing face of Roman mourning.
