    Roman Peyton Place
    I am Livia is historical fiction set amid the dramas of the Roman Empire. Livia Drusilla reflects on her part in "saving Rome." From her life as a very young wife and mother to her involvement with Caesar Octavianus, son of Julius Caesar, Livia's remembrances reveal her as an anomaly to the stereotypical females of that era. Her story is interesting at best but the pace is slow. Recommended for only those who have an unquenchable thirst for early Roman soap opera.
