This book only added to my love for  the height of Rome in antiquity and Southon’s personality in her writing is a very big reason behind that. The jokes and the pop culture references are incredible and the way she imagines these historical figures is heartbreaking and infuriating and enlightening.

Power, especially royal power could best be wielded by a woman wronged...

The story of Agrippina is one that has long been left to shadows and footnotes. Now, she is brought to life in this thrilling book, and her story just bursts from the pages! If you enjoy Ancient history, then you have to read this book and discover this powerful and outspoken woman.

I LOVED this book! It was one that I could not put down!
