Today, we are covering the story of Agrippina the Younger, Nero's mum (who you will remember from Episode 2). History, as they say, is written by the victors and also by the male victors. So it's a miracle that we know anything about Agrippina at all! She was one of the last of the Julio-Claudians, so close to power as the sister to an Emperor, the wife/niece of the next Emperor, and the mother of the Emperor who had her killed.

It is, as usual, a wild ride!
