Agrippina the Younger
The extraordinary, blood-soaked life of Rome's most formidable woman.
She was great-granddaughter, sister, wife and mother of emperors; and she may have killed two of her husbands along the way. Agrippina the Younger was one of the most powerful woman in Roman history: a ruthless political operator who clawed her way to co-rule the empire, only to be murdered by the son she put on the throne.
We're joined by historian Dr. Emma Southon to unravel the extraordinary, blood-soaked life of Rome's most formidable woman.
