Season 1 - Episode Guide

Livia Drusilla loses everything in the Civil War as her father and husband find themselves defeated and forced into exile.

When an amnesty is declared, a pregnant Livia returns to Rome to rebuild her family fortunes and save her friend. 

Now in her thirties, Livia finds herself married to Gaius and pregnant again, and Gaius and Agrippa are alone at the top of the world, ruling Rome together as consuls.

Livia's marriage to Gaius is compromised when she learns that she cannot bear him any children. 

Livia returns to a Rome overrun with plague, and the question of who will succeed a gravely ill Gaius becomes an urgent matter.

Two months after the plague rescinds, Livia's boys are still in danger. Marcellus is surrounded by the same powerful friends who plotted to assassinate Agrippa, Tiberius and Drusus.

As Gaius' rivals taste blood in the water, Livia must outwit both them and her husband if the family is to be kept together.

As Livia tells her sons about their role in her Mission, the truth behind her part in Marcellus' death threatens to come out.
