Was the ancient Roman empress portrayed as a brutal killer, a devil, in reality?

Livia Drusilla, the first empress of Rome, has long been portrayed as a brutal murderer, villain, and demon. But in a new TV drama released some time ago, director Daisy Dunn is trying to separate the truth from the fiction about him for the first time. 'Livia: as a mother a disgrace to the nation, as a stepmother a disgrace to the house of Caesar.' Tacitus said this about Livia Drusilla, the first queen of Rome.

Ancient historians report that Livia controlled her husband, Emperor Augustus, and exiled or killed every potential heir to the throne in order to succeed her son, Augustus' stepson Tiberius. was When the emperor finally died in 14 AD, his wife and empress were also accused of killing him.
