🫕Julia Agrippina (born AD 15—died 59) was the mother of the Roman emperor Nero and a powerful influence on him during the early years of his reign. 🫕She married Claudius, her uncle, that same year and induced him to adopt Nero as heir to the throne in place of his own son. 🫕In 54 Claudius died. It was generally suspected that he was poisoned by Agrippina. Because Nero was only 16 when he succeeded Claudius, Agrippina at first attempted to play the role of regent. #romanempire #agrippina #nero
