Several believed that she conspired and colluded in order to create a path for her sons rise to power after the death Augustus (Button, 2009). There were plenty of successors who were able to inherit the empire from Augustus (Sheldon). Their untimely death circulated conspiracies that Livia had been involved some of their premature deaths. (Barrett, 2002). Livia desired her sons rise to power, as it also ensured that she would stay as an influential figure in society.

Julia Augusta Agrippina, or more commonly, Agrippina the Younger was a Roman empress consort and one of the most distinguished women of the Julio-Claudian dynasty. In her earlier years, Agrippina, as well as her mother and older brother, were remorsly mistreated by Emperor Tiberius, who was only a stepson of Augustus. She would have learned at her mother's knee to despise usurpers who were not direct descendants of Augustus. Historians have long suspected that a childhood spent steeped in fear and resentment may have driven Agrippina in her determination to rule rather than suffer the whims of a ruler. Agrippina the Younger has been described by both ancient sources and modern scholars as ruthless, aggressive, violent, and domineering. With

Around 71 B.C.,a few years before Augustus was born, Gaius Octavius started pursuing a job within the senate, but because of his latin instead of roman descent the pursuit of the job was very difficult for him. He continued pursuing the job in senate till around 70 B.C. when he won a quaestorship, a lower place in the government that entails supervising tax collection and doing special tasks for consuls in Rome, and joined the senate. Based on his latin descent winning a questorship was no small feat so it was no surprise when he was offered a spouse from one of Rome’s great trician clans. The only problem with this was he was already married to Ancharia who is not very well recorded in history so people have no firm evidence for why Gaius Octavius suddenly married Atia, a member of the Julian family making Julius Caesar his great-uncle. Together Atia and Gaius had two children, Octavius the younger and Gaius Octavian, named after his father, along with the one from Ancharia the second of the two being who we know as Augustus.

Success: the one concept humans strive for. It is natural for man to want to succeed, to feel the glory and fame it beholds. Now, the need for success is called ambition.
