The First Ladies of the Roman Empire, Part 4: Livia and Both Agrippinas

Season 2, Episode 29. When we last left Agrippina the Elder and empress Livia, both had hit a real high point in terms of their personal power. But things are about to get pretty messy. Let's explore the end of Livia's life, the rest of Agrippina's, and the fraught beginnings of the legend that is her daughter, Agrippina the Younger.
