Description

Messalina: The Life and Times of Rome's Most Scandalous Empress

This is the story of Messalina, one of the most notorious women to have inhabited the Roman world. According to historical accounts, she was a woman of great passion and intelligence, who navigated the treacherous waters of imperial politics with ruthless determination.

Historians Tacitus and Suetonius have left their mark on Messalina's reputation, but Honor Cargill-Martin seeks to reclaim her humanity in this reappraisal. By examining her life within its historical context, she sheds new light on a woman previously defined by scandal and controversy.
