Actual History Question as Opposed to Rome History Question

[shipperx]

Didn't Servilia live longer than that?  I thought she had lived for years after Brutus' death.  And, yes, I'm also aware that there were years between the battle between Marc Antony and Brutus and when Antony married Octavia.  But, I remember that part and I'm fuzzier on the stuff with Servilia, so anyone know the answer?

For what it's worth, Wikipedia lists the following dates:

44 BC - Caesar assasinated
43 BC - Atia dies
42 BC - Brutus and Cassius die
40 BC - Antony marries Octavia

It lists Servilia's death as "after 43 BC", but also notes that she was still living when Brutus died.

Which, since Atia is still alive and kicking, I shouldn't be quibbling that Servilia bit it when she did as it was after Brutus' death. (But then at this point, I consider Atia to be more Fulvia than Atia so... dunno. Rome's history is quite accurate in some ways and bizarro world in others.

Rome is accurate enough that when they get something wrong, I figure it's on purpose. Certainly, Atia is still alive because it serves the plot for her to be.

That and she rocks.

Plus, I do think she's sort of been fused with Fulvia, which leads me to believe that she's about to meet a bad end in the near future.
