Augustus, Livia, and concordia ordinum. Ovid, Fasti 6, 637–648 Reconsidered
The founding of aedes Concordiae by Livia in 7 B.C. has so far been analyzed as an example of a concord between spouses and/or within the imperial family. Taking into account the descent of Augustus and Livia as well as the analogy to the renewal of the cult of Pudicitia Patricia and Pudicitia Plebeia, the author puts forward the thesis that Livia’s association with Concordia also aimed at highlighting concordia ordinum, peace between orders, during Augustus’ reign.
