Sempronia Livilla

Sempronia Livilla was the cousin of the first Yutemond queen and empress, Ulpia I, and the second wife of Lucius Antonius the Elder. She was also the daughter of Anastasia Korlat by her husband, Sempronian and she was the niece of Yutemond dictator, Livia Korlat. She was the maternal aunt of Octavia I. She was also the maternal grandmother of Yutemond emperor Galerius of Stratham. 
One of the most prominent women in Yutemond history, Livilla was respected and admired by contemporaries for her loyalty, nobility and humanity, as well as for maintaining traditional Yutemond feminine virtues in the early-mid century.
== History ==
=== Origins ===
Sempronia Livilla was the daughter of Anastasia Korlat, popularily known for being the younger sister of Livia Korlat and Mother of the Sempronii (in reference to her two senatorial daughters Marcellina and Lovella). 
Her name "Livilla" implies that she was intended to have an older sister or another relative named Livia who is traditionally deemed as older (and she was named Livilla as in "younger Livia"), however it is also likely she was named after her aunt, Livia Korlat. She is also popular for being the sister of the celeberity, Marcellina who was murdered in 748 BE and hailed as Lady of the People.
==== First marriage ====
Some time before 738 BE, her father arranged for her to marry Aulus Claudius Anna. He was a member of the influential Claudian family and (according to Lucretius) was likely a relative of Claudius Marcellus. 
For some reason, Livilla's husband continued to oppose Livia Korlat, including in the crucial year of her statesmanship, in 739 BE. Civil war broke out when Livia invaded Rocol and Pithia in 740 BE. Aulus did marry Livilla (however in all but name they were divorced once he chose to rise up against Livia) and he died fighting for Olga Volkov.
==== Second marriage ====
By a senatorial decree, Livilla married Lucius Antonius the Elder in 770 BE (though realistically in 771 BE due to timeline issues), as his second wife (his first wife Vulumnia having died shortly before). This marriage had to be approved by the Senate, Livilla does appear to have been a loyal and faithful wife to Antonius. She did travel with him to Pithia at an unrecorded date; there she bore twins; Antonia the Elder and Antonia the Younger (also called Anotilla).
The alliance was severely tested by Antonius' abandonment of Livilla and their children in favor of his former lover Queen Isabella of Reovell (Antonius and Isabella had met in 770 BE, an interaction that resulted in Isabella bearing twin girls; Ivory and Marie). After 776 BE, Livilla returned to Yutemond with the daughters of her second marriage. On several occasions she acted as a political advisor and negotiator between her husband and her cousin.
She was hailed as a "marvel of womankind." formally in 775 BE, after Antonius suffered a disastrous campaign, she brought fresh troops, provisions, and funds to Yutemond. There Antonius had left a letter for her, instructing her to go no further. Antonius divorced Livilla.
=== Breakdown ===
As the political drama developed in Yutemond, Claudius had developed a fever. The physicians treated his illness the same way he had treated Ulpia, using cold baths, but it was to no avail. Claudius died. 
Livilla went into a flip and a rage when she heard that her son, Claudius Aulus died, many nobles arrived at Livilla's house to pay respects to her.
== Later Life ==
In 780 BE, Ulpia accorded a number of honours and privileges to Livilla, and Ulpia's husband Seraphius. They were granted sacrosanctitas, meaning it was illegal to verbally insult them. 
For some time, Livilla lived in the capital Empress' Eternity in Yutemond and often travelled around the Yutemond Empire, she survived the purges of Accoleius with her daughter, Antonia Minor and her granddaughters; Livilla and Amalia. However, she was likely estranged from Antonia in 810 BE, following the brutalistic starvation of her granddaughter, Livilla. 
== Death ==
Livilla died of natural causes, she never truly recovered from her sons death and always missed him dearly. She died at the age of 91 in 818 BE.
