Biography

About

Born in 30 AD, Poppaea Sabina first married the man who would become emperor Otho. She then married Nero, becoming empress of Rome. Ancient historians described her as a woman of striking beauty who maneuvered her way into power through intrigue. She died in 65 AD at age 35. A vast villa at Oplontis near Pompeii carries her name today, its excavated rooms still bearing witness to the world she inhabited before Vesuvius buried it thirteen years after her death.
