About this person

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.
