from The Exploress · host Kate J. Armstrong

Season 2, Episode 28. Daughter of Rome's most venerated war hero, favorite granddaughter of its first emperor, wife of one of its most shining stars, Agrippina the Elder was born to be famous, thrust into the spotlight, whether she wanted to bask in it or not. But she also made her own spotlight, always fighting for what she believes in - and against those who would do her family harm. Let's explore the beginnings of Agrippina's story and bask in the latter half of Livia's.  For a transcript of this episode, images, and more, check out my website.
