Agrippina

By Emma Southon

Sister of Caligula, wife of Claudius, and mother of Nero, Agrippina dominated imperial power for three generations at the heart of the Julio-Claudian dynasty. This biography charts her ruthless ascent, detailing how she used beauty, intelligence, manipulation, and violence to secure influence for herself and her son. From her birth in Cologne, through exile and her seductive marriage to Claudius, to her ultimate assassination by Nero, Agrippina scaled the absolute limits of female power in Rome. Her compelling story illuminates the bloody, extravagant, and corrupt zenith of the Roman Empire.
