Like many famous figures from antiquity, we must work through layers of fantasy in order to uncover the life of Poppaea Sabina (c. 30-65 CE). In this book, Neil Bernstein critically examines these sources to produce the first modern biography of Poppaea Sabina -- describing her scandalous parentage, her affair with the emperor, and even her implication in a murder plot.
