| Abstract |
At 3pm on 19th August AD 14, Augustus died. According to Cassius Dio 56.32.1, Livia was instituted as heir to one-third of Augustus' estate in the will. While Dio notes that the amount of property women were able to inherit as heirs was limited by law, he does not specify which law imposed this limit. Dio merely informs us that the inheritance Livia received from Augustus exceeded the limited amount of property Roman women were permitted to inherit under the law.
