Description

Agrippina The Most Extraordinary Woman of the Roman World by Emma Southon At the heart of the Julio-Claudia dynasty, a woman of unparalleled power and intelligence emerges. Beautiful, intelligent, and ruthless, Agrippina navigated the treacherous waters of senatorial politics, using her wits, sex, motherhood, and manipulation to achieve her goals. Her story is one of ambition, excess, and the corrupting influence of power. From her early days as a daughter of a prominent family to her rise as a seductive wife and mother, Agrippina's life was marked by intrigue, assassination attempts, and exile. Yet, she remained single-minded in her pursuit of power, driven by a fierce devotion to her son, Nero. This biography follows Agrippina's remarkable journey, from the heights of imperial power to the depths of her own downfall.
