She was the mother of Cato the Younger, and grandmother of Marcus Junius Brutus, through her oldest daughter Servilia.
Livia's father died in 108 BC, and she passed into the care of her brother, the younger Livius Drusus.
[1] They had three children: Livia and Caepio must have divorced about 98 BC, for reasons not stated by any ancient historian;[ii] but Pliny the Elder reports that Caepio and Drusus had fallen out over the sale of a ring for which each was bidding at auction.
[15] Livia Drusa appears as a major character in the first two books of Colleen McCullough's Masters of Rome series.
In The First Man in Rome, her brother coerces her into marrying Caepio, whom she dislikes.
