 Contrary to "Rome" representation, Tacitus describes Atia as a pious, devoted mother and an ideal Roman matron; little other detail is known of her.There is no historical evidence to suggest that she was romantically involved with Mark Antony or in a contemptuous rivalry with Servilia (basis for the character Servilia of the Junii), as is dramatized in the series.It is not known what involvement she may have had in the political intrigues of Julius Caesar or Octavian, but she did fear for her son's safety and at some point urged him to renounce his rights as Caesar's heir.
