[edit] Biography
[edit] Early Life
Little is known on his family and the circumstances leading to Marcus as an infant to be adopted and raised in Rome by tribune Marcus Livius Drusus. Marcus changed his name from Appius Claudius Pulcher to Marcus Livius Drusus Claudianus, in honor of his adoptive father.
Marcus married a woman of Plebs 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, while Livius Drusus would serve as a consul.
[edit] Career
Marcus was praetor of Rome in 50 BC. In the year of his praetorship, Marcus was the President of a Law Court, which stated the cases that violated the Lex Scantinia. Lex Scantinia was a law introduced in the 2nd century BC that possibly regulated sexual behavior. (For more information about the Lex Scantinia see articles, The Bible and homosexuality and Sodomy, Chapter 4 - Medieval Christianity on sodomy, Section 4.1 Justinian I and Byzantine power politics of late antiquity).
The senator Cicero in 45 BC had purchased gardens from Marcus that he had owned in Rome. Marcus was a supporter of the Roman Republic and was among those who opposed the rule and dictatorship of Gaius Julius Caesar. Caesar was assassinated in 44 BC by political rebels Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus.
In 42 BC, Marcus had arranged with his cousin of from the Claudius (gens) and of Patrician status, Tiberius Nero to marry Marcus’ daughter Livia. Livia and Tiberius Nero were married and became the parents of future Roman Emperor Tiberius Claudius Nero and general Nero Claudius Drusus. (Through his second grandson, he would a direct ancestor to the Roman Emperors Caligula, Claudius and Nero, who were among his various descendants.)
Marcus became a supporter of Brutus and Cassius and joined them in the war against Octavian (Augustus) and Mark Antony. The decision that Marcus would make; would have serious consequences for him; particularly for Livia’s family. Through the decision of her father joining Brutus and Cassius, Livia wasn’t prepared or didn’t expect to face the unstable period when her and her family were on the run from Octavian and Mark Antony.
[edit] Death
Marcus fought alongside with Brutus and Cassius, against Octavian and Mark Antony at the Battle of Philippi, Greece in 42 BC. When Brutus and Cassius were defeated, they committed suicide. Marcus killed himself in his tent, to avoid to be captured alive by the victors.
[edit] Legacy
The poet Sextus Propertius [11.1.27], described the Battle of Philippi as "civilia busta" or "sepulchre of citizens". The senator and historian of the 1st century Aulus Cremutius Cordus wrote a book of Roman History that glorified Brutus and Cassius. Cordus describes those who fought alongside Caesar’s assassins as "last of the Romans".
In the reign Claudius 41-54, Claudius dedicated an honorary inscription to his ancestor to be placed on the Greek Island of Samos. This surviving inscription hails Marcus as the "origin of many great and good works for the world" or "megiston agathon aition…en toi kosmoi". Apart from this inscription, Claudius also honored him with statues in Rome.

--------------------
Note: The elder Marcus Livius Drusus (died 108 BC) was set up as tribune by Senate in 121 BC to undermine Gaius Gracchus' land reform bills. To do this, he proposed creating twelve colonies with 3000 settlers each from the poorer classes, and relieving rent on property distributioned since 133 BC. He also said the Latin allies should not be mistreated by Roman generals, which was teh counteroffer to Gaius' off of full citizenship. These were known as the Leges Liviae, but they were never enacted, because the Senate simply wanted to draw support away from Cracchus. Their plan was successful and Drusus had enough support to veto Gaius' bill. Drusus was later Consul in 112 BC and fought in Macedonia defeating the Scordisci, even pushing them out of Thrace accross the Danube. in 109 BC he was elected Censor along with the elder Marcus Aemilius Scaurus, but he died the next year in 108 BC. He had a son of the same name.
