AGRIPPINA: YOU'LL BE A MONSTER, MY SON

Exceptional destinies

An episode from the series SECRETS OF HISTORY - PORTRAITS

Synopsis

Sister of Emperor Caligula, mother of his successor Nero, Agrippina was a power-hungry woman, ambitious and gifted with great political sense. Telling her story means immersing oneself in ancient Rome, the daily life and the plots, discovering Pompeii or admiring the cliffs of Capri.

Agrippina is still portrayed as a monster even though her only mistake was to have given birth to Nero, who would have her murdered when she became too ambitious.
