The Liviana is a type of fig grown in Roman gardens, colloquially named so as a tongue-in-cheek reference to the ancient rumour that empress Livia euthanized her husband, emperor Augustus, by poisoning his figs. The Liviana is a Classical Civilisations podcast to introduce A-Level Classics students to the wider Ancient world outside of the syllabus!
