Primus Pilus Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Hey all. Was curious as to know if anyone had any info as to who Livilla's daughter was? In I, Claudius, she was known as Helen, a spoiled girl. Who was she really? There's not alot to know really. The sources (Tacitus and Dio Cassius in particular) don't offer much detail on the lives of the some of the ancillary imperial family member. We do know that she was married to Nero Caesar Germanicus (son of Germanicus and Agrippina). Nero was accused of treason and the two did not have children. She later married Gaius Rubellius Blandus and had either 2 or 4 children, depending on the source. According to Seneca in "Octavia" Claudius had her put to death following an accusation by Messalina of incest and deviant behavior. Unfortunately Tacitus' account of this period is lost and Dio Cassius doesn't this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
