The reason that Livia married Octavian/Augustus is one of history's mysteries. She could not have married him to further herself socially, as she was from a dominant social family, the Claudians, higher socially than the Julians which was the clam of Augustus. In addition, she was also pregnant with Tiberius" child. True love can only be the answer based upon the knowledge that we have at present.
Background of Tiberius: Tiberius was born in 42 BC. He was the step-son of Augustus and his mother was Livia. Tiberius father was also called Tiberius - his name was Tiberius Nero. His father was from the Claudian family who was very rich and powerful. When Tiberius was only 3 years old, his mother LIvia, divorced Tiberius Nero and married Ocatvian, who would later become the emperor Augustus. Tiberius real father, Tiberius Nero, died when Tiberius was nine years old. As he was growing up, his step-father Augustus sent him on missions to give him experience so he could become a leader and rule the Roman Empire. For example, he was sent to fight with his brother, Nero Claudis Drusus, to fight against the Germans in the Alps, north of Italy. Tiberius married about 20 BC, when he was 22 to Vipsania Agrippina, who was the daughter of Augustus' favorite general Agrippa. In 13 BC, they had a baby son, who they names Julius Caesar Drusus. Agrippa died in 12 BC and Augustus forced Tiberius (who was 30 years old) to divorce Vipsania and marry Agrippa's widow, Julia Caesaris, even though Tiberius didn't want to. Tiberius won many battles. But he was very unhappy with his life. In 6 BC, when Tiberius was 36 years old, he quit his army positions and announced he was moving to the island of Rhodes. His step-father, Augustus was upset because he had no other sons to succeed him. After Augustus died, Tiberius was forced to come back to Rome and become the next emperor.
The emperors of the Julio- Claudian family belonged to the gens Claudia (Julius family, or Julii) and the gens Claudia (Claudius family or Claudii). These two aristocratic families were tightly intertwined through marriages between the sons of Livia Drusilla, the wife of Augustus, and Augustus' sister, daughter and granddaughter.The first emperor, Augustus, belonged to the Julii because he was adopted by Julius Caesar. His wife was Livia Drusilla, was a Claudii. She was the daughter of Marcus Livius Drusus Claudianus, a Claudii. Her first marriage was with her cousin Nero Claudius Drusus, also a Claudii.The second emperor, Tiberius, was a Claudii. He was the son of Livia Drusilla and Tiberius Claudius Nero. He married Julia the Elder, Augustus' only natural child (from a previous marriage) and was later adopted by Augustus and became a member of the Julii as well.The third emperor, Caligula, was both a Julii and a Claudii. His mother was Vipsania Agrippina (or Agrippina the Elder) the second granddaughter of Augustus and his father was Germanicus, the second son of Livia Drusilla and son Nero Claudius Drusus.The fourth emperor, Claudius was a Claudii. He was the youngest son of Livia Drusilla and Nero Claudius Drusus. He also had a connection with the Julii. His maternal grandmother was Octavia the Younger, daughter of the niece of Julius Caesar and biological sister of Augustus and his mother was Antonia the Younger, the niece of Augustus.The fifth emperor, Nero, was the son of Agrippina the Younger, the daughter of Agrippina the Elder, the daughter of Julia the Elder, the only natural child of Augustus (from his marriage with Scribonia) and sister of Caligula. His father, Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus, was the only son of Antonia the Elder, the other niece of AugustusA look at the female side of the families illustrates the tight interrelation between the two families:Julius the Elder:the only biological child of Augustus, stepsister of Tiberius when his mother Livia married Augustus, wife of Tiberius when he was forced to marry her, mother of Julia the Younger and Agrippina the Elder, grandmother of Agrippina the Younger, and Caligula, great grandmother of Nero.Octavia Minor.: a niece of Augustus, sister-in-law of Tiberius, paternal grandmother of Caligula and Agrippina the Younger, mother of Claudius, and both maternal great-grandmother and paternal great-aunt of the Nero.Agrippina the Elder: second granddaughter of Augustus, step niece of Tiberius when Livia married Augustus and step daughter of Tiberius when he was forced to marry his mother Julia the Elder, mother of Caligula, maternal second cousin Claudius and sister-in-law of Claudius, mother of Caligula and the maternal grandmother of Nero.Agrippina the Younger:a great-granddaughter of Augustus, great-niece and adoptive granddaughter of Tiberius, sister of Caligula, niece and fourth wife of Claudius, and mother of Nero.
In my opinion, it was a bit. The father or eldest male of the family was the hea dof the household, and they decided when and to whom their children will marry. But there were quite a lot of influential women. Livia, Emperor Augustus' wife, was proclaimed a goddess after she died!
Well she loved Marc Antony but after he took the cowards way out and killed himself she was taken prisoner by Octavian, later Cesar Augustus who turned the roman republic into the roman empire. I do not know if she was ever married, I doubt it though
Because he found out that he was supposed to kill his father and marry his mother.It was in the Prophecy by the Oracal of Delphi. Written by Minh Nhat Luong
Tiberius was born in Rome in 42 BC and died in Misanum (near Naples in 37 AD). He was the son of Tiberius Claudius Nero and Livia. Livia later divorced and married Augustus. He married Vipsiana Agrippina, but Augustus requested that he divorce and marry his daughter Julia. He became emperor after Augustus' death in 14 AD.
He didn't have any sons. He had one daughter, and her names was Julia. When Augustus married Livia, she already had a son, and his name was Tiberius (a future emperor). Therefore, Tiberius was his stepson. He eventually forced Tiberius to divorce his wife and marry Julia. Tiberius and Julia loathed each other.

agustus
his achievements was to marry and divorce Julia the elder Whoops! a confusion between the Tiberius boys. The Tiberius who married Julia the Elder was Tiberius Claudius Nero, the son of Livia. He was the second Roman emperor. He lived a couple of hundred years after the Gracchii. The Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus brothers were elected tribunes of the people and tried to pass social reform legislation did not succeed and caused civil unrest in which, at different times, both were killed.

Assuming you mean Marcus Junius Brutus, one of Julius Caesar's assassins, then he had two wives. His first wife was Claudia Pulchra. He was married to her for about ten years before he divorced her suddenly to marry his second wife. His second wife was Porcia Catonis, his first cousin. Porcia is better known as she was the daughter of Cato and Brutus' wife during the assassination of Caesar. She died between 43/42 BC.
