Did livia poison Augustus?

In: Ancient History, Famous People, Ancient Wars [Edit categories]

Answer:

Basically, Tacitus tells us she did, but only to get her son Tiberius on the throne instead of Augustus' Grandson Agrippa (because she had become paranoid that Augustus' had begun to favour Agrippa and had secret meetings with him). There is no other source that tells us this and modern historians find it very doubtfull.
