	The family and property of Livia Drusilla.
		Because Livia's prominence was based largely upon the same factors--family and property--that brought any woman of the Roman elite class prestige and influence, she serves as a paradigm of the increasing social and economic aggrandizement possible for women in the late republic and early empire.
		Nevertheless, Livia's wealth and influence surpassed that of women before her largely because of the unique circumstances in which she found herself as wife of the first emperor and mother of the second.
		Furthermore, Livia occupies an important position in Roman history as a foundational figure in the Julio-Claudian dynasty and as the first woman to attain the title Augusta, a title that she received as an honor but which she effectively defined as a position for subsequent imperial women.
