 Throughout the series her plans often misfire or meet with mixed success.The full measure of her hubris and condescension can be seen in the series finale when, prior to Octavian's parade, she denies Livia her rightful place as the First Woman of Rome, calling her a "vicious little trollop" and vitriolically belittling her and attacking her character, intimidating her into submission, despite the fact that Atia and Livia are both very similar to one another.Atia's first scene in the series sees her using her sexuality to bribe Timon, her hired hand, into selling her a white horse he intended to auction at the market.
