Scribonia

Played By Christine Bottomley

 

Scribonia is the best friend of Gaius’ older sister Octavia, as well as Gaius’ first wife and Livia’s greatest enemy. Witty, funny, cynical and smart she often feels like she is second to Livia. As an aspirational social climber and long-time admirer of Gaius, Scribonia can’t believe her luck when their affair becomes a politically arranged marriage. However, when Gaius leaves her for Livia, Scribonia is left heartbroken and humiliated, hell bent on finding a way to seek revenge over the woman who took everything from her. Livia had better watch her back – Scribonia is watching her very closely.
