You forgot incest, matricide, that she almost escaped by using bee wits and quick reaction but it didn't last long had she know it was her son she may have had escaped by not going straight to her palace. This woman has all the tragedy, followed by all the success and ended tragically because she was unable to enjoy the success without plotting and try to climb when there is no next level but death.

Oh please give us some more roman and byzantine history!! Especially byzantine royal history is widely unknown to a lot of people but its so intriguing!

This period in Roman history has always creeped me out, even more so having just recently watched the BBC's "I, Claudius" series. The Julian dynasty is arguably one of the most, if not the most, disturbing "families" in history, putting the Medici, Borgias, et al. to shame.

Read the book that was the source material, it's a good read. I have a copy of it and the sequel.

Agrippina the Younger was the focus of my thesis paper almost a year ago. Trying to wade through the like of Tacitus, Suetonius, and Dio to find an unbiased view on her was near impossible as my goal was to re-write her as an ideal mother and wife based on the expectations of Roman women. A not so challenging write for a woman who absolutely needed her story to be rewritten in a more positive light. I saw this an instantly jumped on watching it. Thank you for all of your amazing hard work and dedication to history.

Next up, a feminist rewrite of Aileen Wuornos.

According to a documentary about Nero, he only burned down houses to stop the fire. That's a strategy used by firefighters until today (though mainly in forrests, not in an inhabited area). The historians consider it unlikely that he ordered the fire, as he was the one who lost most from it. And after the fire, he let the homeless live in houses owned by him and lowered the food prices. He wasn't all that bad. A lot is just propaganda by his enemies. Though he probaby wasn't a pleasant person, he wasn't quite as bad. And he blamed the fire on the Christians after many people blamed him for it.

Blaming the innocent is awful in of itself, but it is common for humans to play the blame game by placing the guilt off of themselves.

One awkward note: Augustus wasn't called that until he became emperor. He was named Octavian.

Agrippina the Elder had many positive qualities but really, if she was convinced Tiberius killed her husband for being a threat why did she think it was a good idea to go to his capital and loudly making accusations and putting her sons in his sights, especially since even the older ones were too young to be a true threat to the Emperor at the time.

Augustus was known as Octavian prior to becoming Emperor.

One thing I always notice is the curly hair in ancient sculpture, but the straight hair of modern Italians. I wonder if hair was really curly, or if it was just fashionable to depict it so (... as was done with physique, you know, everyone but Nero was shown as healthy and muscled no matter the truth if their bodies in real life).

Fashion would be a major contributor. You can see it in the portraits of later centuries. Hair styles come and go, and people have been curling or straightening their hair since the dawn of time.

Thanks for the video! I remember learning about her from the Rotten Romans book (which included the boat & telling the assassins to stab her where her ungrateful son came from, & the friend, I think it credited that the friend purposefully saved her). It was interesting to learn more background of everything!

Can you do a series on the history of the papacy from Peter to Francis? There's not much that has shaped this history of the western world more than the catholic church.

Man, imagine what the world would've been like if Tiberius died and was succeeded by Germanicus as intended. It sounds like he was a great leader and decent person, and maybe Agrippina, Caligula, and their siblings would have been great leaders as well without all that trauma and bloodshed.

Great history video. Thanks for sharing.

What a ride! That was fascinating. I think I went cross-eyed at one point trying to follow the family lines 🥴

Very poor description of her family tree. Agrippina the younger's mother was Agripinna the Elder, the daughter of Julia. Julia was the daughter of Augustus and she had several children with Marcus Agrippa. Agrippina the Elder married Germanicus who was the son of Drusus. Drusus was the son of Livia and brother of Claudius. Drusus married Antonia the younger. Antonia was the daughter of Mark Antony.

Great video! Looking forward to seeing more on the Roman empresses.

Love your vids about monarchs! Just one correction at the beginning: Agrippina the Younger was actually Tiberius’ grand-niece and Claudius’ niece and wife.

There is a Sky TV series that started in 2021 called "Domina" which focuses on the rise of Livia Drusilla (wife of Augustus Caesar, briefly mentioned in this video), but it also has a lot of the other prominent women around her. I believe it's still going, because season 2 is coming out in 2023, so, if it goes long enough, I'm sure they can feature multiple domina...s? Dominae? 🤔😅

1:06 is Augustus not Julius Caesar.

Claudius is said to have fathered more than two children, it is mostly thought he had a son Claudius Drusus from his marriage to Plautia Urgulanilla who died in childhood, a daughter Claudia Antonia by Aelia Paetina and a daughter Claudia Octavia and a son Britannicus by Valeria Messalina, it was Octavia who was married at one point to Nero rather than Antonia. Antonia apparently appears briefly in Robert Graves book about Claudius but she was omitted from the 1976 TV adaption which is always annoying when they cut out real people from stories that are supposed to be based on true events!

We hereby i hate it Due To Premiere I saw it on Notification but it was 5pm GMT

Never thought I’d feel sorry for Caligula…

This was a fantastic video! It’s almost comical how many people rode off of Germanicus’ legacy 😂

in the history of the Roman empire, none of them reached the age of 50 to 60 years old, most of them die early....but did any of them last to that age?

We’re going way back lol 😂
