Early Life
Little is known about the circumstances leading to Drusus's adoption as an infant by the tribune Marcus Livius Drusus. His name was change from Appius Claudius Pulcher to Marcus Livius Drusus Claudianus, in honor of his adoptive father.
Drusus married a woman of plebeian status called Aufidia; the daughter of a Roman magistrate called Marcus Aufidius Lurco. They had at least two children: a daughter Livia Drusilla (58 BC-29) and a son Marcus Livius Drusus. Livia was the first Roman Empress and third wife of the first Roman Emperor Augustus and Livius Drusus would serve as a consul.
