Nero’s mother Agrippina.

Today’s chapter in the FGO Arcade event talks about her a lot.

Who of the many women that surrounded Mark Antony could you see yourself being FRIENDS with? Not who you admire the most but who you'd enjoy drinks and dishing the dirt with the most

It's honestly kind of hilarious how the "Julio-Claudian" Dynasty is really a bunch of Antonians. Over half of the emperors and most of the influential women of the family are all Antonians

ANCIENT ROME FAMILY TREES !!

(that I've written down so far)

- THE JULIOCLAUDIANS (until Claudius, sorry Nero! - starting from Brutus' ancestors)

- MARCELLUS AND HIS FAMILY (down to Messalina!)

- THE FAMILY OF AELIUS SEJANUS (the only one whose family isn't a circle)

I do not like the tendency (that I so far noticed in two productions of Agrippina) of presenting Ottone more "conventionally masculine" than Nerone and thus "the obvious choice" for Poppaea. First of all, the implications are unsavory; secondly, nothing could be less inspired; thirdly, if we look at the cast at the 1709 première, Ottone was sung by a woman, unlike Nerone - which shows that the aforementioned staging choice in some modern productions does not originate in the opera itself.

"The answer once again is yes." "Will you let me finish?! You don't even know what I'm going to say! You are in your cups! You've had too much wine again."

I literally just came home from the library with Emma Southon's book Agrippina: The Most Extraordinary Woman of the Roman World. I haven't even finished the first page and the writing style and humor is so good. It's like a combination of Horrible Histories books and Philomena Cunk. I sure do hope every part of it is as good as the humor. I'm interested to see how open she is to the theory that Brit wasn't poisoned.

I can only aspire to be as funny as she is.

She said it! She mentioned how different the Annals would be with one missing letter.

My mother was a genius

My father commanded respect

When they died, they left no instructions,

Just a legacy to protect.

Emma Southon on Germanicus attempting (pretend) suicide only for his soldiers to tell him to use a sharper blade:

“At this point, [he] had three kids, was in his late twenties, commanded a huge army, was first in line to the throne if something happened to Tiberius, and was acting like the protagonist in a very low-quality YA book.”

The fact that in the museum of ancient Olympia (in Greece) they have Agrippina the Younger across from Poppaea Sabina 🤨😐
