"Collectanea Antiquitatum Romanarum" which was a collection of antique Roman tablets of the noted illustrator Antonius Borioni. Printed in Rome by Rodulphino Venuti in 1736It has long been noted that the greatest soap opera dramas of all time weren't works of fiction; ...they were matters of history. Love, betrayal, passion, vengeance, ambition, pride--history has it all, and in few places did we see this more clearly than in the Roman Empire. One key player in this drama was Julia Agrippina, more often remembered as Agrippina the Younger (15-59 CE). As one of the most powerful women in Roman history, Agrippina the Younger held a major role in the drama that was royal life in ancient Rome. Agrippina Claude or Agrippina the Younger was destined to play a key role in Roman history from the moment of her birth. Her great-grandfather was Augustus, the man who had turned the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire with himself as the first emperor. She was the great-niece of the former emperor Tiberius, and her mother (Agrippina the Elder) was among the most respected women in Rome. Agrippina the Younger, therefore, was heir to some of the most prominent families in Rome and part of Rome's first imperial dynasty, which we call the Julio-Claudian dynasty.
