Contemporary Roman matrons of the late Republic
Livia Drusa and Aurelia Cotta were both prominent Roman matrons of the same generation (both born circa 120 BC) who were instrumental in the upbringing of key figures in the late Roman Republic. Their families were deeply interconnected through the complex social and political networks of the Roman elite; notably, Livia's daughter Servilia was a long-term mistress of Aurelia's son, Julius Caesar.
