Agrippina . . . she enslaved men. She murdered 2 husbands and married her uncle to make her son emperor - and then seduced him to keep him in her power.

Nero . . . her son. Corrupted in childhood, bisexual, insanely vain and cruel. He dreamed of being the world's greates musician, and spent fortunes to play obscene stage roles to terrified audiences.

Poppaea . . . the lovely, licentious mistress to Nero's best frined and instructor in vice until Nero made her his empress.

Acte . . . luminously beautiful and made for love. She was a slave and the child of Caesar. She was too clost to Nero not to become his plaything. And much too close to his wife and mother not to live in terror.

All the lusty drama of Imperial Rome comes to life.
