Domina

A Roman slave woman named Livia survives a brutal early life to become one of the most powerful figures in the empire, engineering her rise through marriage to Octavian, who will become Emperor Augustus. The series follows her calculated pursuit of influence and survival in a world that offers women almost no formal power, depicting the compromises, alliances and ruthlessness required to shape Roman history from behind the scenes. As her sons grow older, Livia manoeuvres to secure her chosen heir's path to succession, placing her at the centre of deadly court intrigue.
