Claudius, now a father, tells his brother, Germanicus, of what Postumus told him, about Livia's evil plots. Augustus visits Postumus on his desert island. When Augustus hear of Livias crimes he changes his will, favoring Postumus in order to prevent Tiberius to get the throne. Augustus realizes that Claudius is much smarter than people think and fins a new loyal friend in him. Livia tries to food poisoning her husband but fails. Augustus now only eats figs from the tree, not touched by human hands, but Livia poisons the figs. After his death Livia exchanges the will for one that favores Tiberius. (Many many years later Claudius finds Augustus original will.) Livia orders the murder of the remaining rivals and Tiberius finally rules Rome. Sejanus (Patrick Stewart) kills Postumus on his desert island.
