Deaths of Agrippina the Younger and Claudia Octavia
Tacitus claims that Poppaea was the reason that Nero murdered his mother. Poppaea induced Nero to murder Agrippina in 59 so that she could marry him. Modern scholars, though, question the reliability of this story as Nero did not marry Poppaea until 62.Additionally, Suetonius mentions how Poppaea's husband, Otho, was not sent away until after Agrippina's death, which makes it very unlikely that an already married woman would be pressing Nero to marry her.Some modern historians, however, theorize that Nero's decision to kill Agrippina was prompted by her plotting to set Gaius Rubellius Plautus (Nero's maternal second cousin) on the throne, rather than as a result of Poppaea's motives.
Still, Tacitus claims that, with Agrippina gone, Poppaea pressured Nero to divorce and later execute his first wife and stepsister Claudia Octavia in order to marry Poppaea. Octavia was initially dismissed to Campania (which by coincidence is the same general geographic area that Pompeii, Poppaea's place of birth as noted above, is located in), and then imprisoned on the island of Ventotene (a common place of banishment for members of the Imperial family who fell from favor), on a charge of adultery. Once more, as with the death of Agrippina, modern historians question Poppaea's pressure as Nero's true motive. During his eight-year marriage to Claudia Octavia, Nero had produced no children, and in AD 62, around the time that he divorced Octavia, Poppaea was pregnant. When this happened, Nero divorced Octavia, claimed she was barren, and he married Poppaea two weeks after the divorce.
The historian Josephus, on the other hand, tells us of a very different Poppaea. He calls her a deeply religious woman (perhaps privately a Jewish proselyte) who urged Nero to show compassion, namely to the Jewish people. However, in 64, she secured the position of procurator of Judaea for her friend's husband, Gessius Florus, who was harmful to the Jews.
She bore Nero one daughter, Claudia Augusta, born on 21 January 63, who died at only four months of age. At the birth of Claudia, Nero honored mother and child with the title of Augusta.
the villa was owned by the Imperial Emperor Nero, but that it was largely used by his notorious second wife, Poppaea, she was a manipulative, scheming woman who married a friend of Nero in order to get close to him. Poppaea seduced Nero and divorced her husband, then convinced him to murder his mother and first wife, leaving her free to step into the role of Empress.
Poppaea filled her villa on the sea with statuary and employed the best artisans to cover the walls with exquisite frescoes and create elaborate mosaic floors. One whole wing housed servants, who would have tended to the needs of guests during lavish parties (some say orgies) that were held around a large swimming pool.

Two thousand years ago a woman called Poppaea Sabina lived in this large seaside villa in the ancient Roman town of Oplontis (now Torre Annuziata) near Pompeii.
Poppaea was the second wife of the brutal Roman Emperor Nero who persecuted the early Christians.
Poppaea is believed to have been the owner of the villa although some historians think that the villa was owned by Emperor Nero himself. Regardless of who was the actual owner, both Nero and Poppaea used the seaside villa.as their second home.
Following the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD.79 the villa, also known as Villa Oplontis, was buried in ash and lay undiscovered until the first phase of excavation began in the 1800's. The second round of excavation began in the 1960s.
To reach the well preserved villa with its beautiful frescoes and Olympic sized pool, take the Circumvesuviana train line and get off at Torre Annunziata - Oplonti (one stop from Pompeii Scavi). On exiting the train station turn left, walk to the end of the street then turn right and continue walking down the hill. The villa is easy to spot and is only a 5 minute walk from the train station.

Poppea Sabina;
Poppaea Sabina (en Latín) fue mujer de Nerón, por quien llegó a ser emperatriz romana y posteriormente reconocida con el título de Augusta. Fue hija de Titus Ollius, quien fue pretor en el regimiento de Tiberio, y su madre fue una distinguida mujer también llamada Popea Sabina La Mayor, que cometería suicidio debido a las intrigas de la emperatriz Mesalina.
Nerón la conoció cierta vez cuando fue a la casa de su favorito "Otón", y se enamoró perdidamente de ella haciéndola su amante. Poppaea ganó gran influencia sobre el emperador y, haciendo uso de ella, le convenció para que mandara matar a "Agripina La Menor", madre de Nerón, ya que ésta resultaba peligrosa para la estabilidad del poder del emperador, así como también para los propios intereses de Poppaea. Agripina sería ejecutada por un centurión en el año 59.
Luego, Poppaea propone a Nerón que se divorcie de su entonces esposa "Claudia Octavia", hija de Claudio para posteriormente exiliarla y ejecutarla, acto que también se cumpliría para beneficio de Poppaea.
Después de dichos horrorosos cometidos Poppaea se casó con Nerón y se convirtió en la nueva emperatriz romana. Poppaea se hizo famosa en Roma por su belleza y coquetería, implantando en la sociedad romana nuevos métodos de belleza, como sus baños en leche de asna para mantener su juventud y al igual que las emperatrices que la precedieron, abusó de su poder cometiendo injusticiasy muchos asesinatos. Se dice que intrigó contra "Séneca", el cual sería obligado a suicidarse.
En el año 63 dio a luz, a la cual la fue llamada "Claudia Augusta", la cual murió poco después de haber nacido, siendo proclamada Augusta al igual que su madre.
Poppaea fue asesinada por el propio Nerón a causa de un puntapié en su vientre (Al parecer cegado por la ebriedad por jugos de uva negra), estando Popea embarazada, lo que le provocó un aborto y su posterior muerte. Arrepentido, la lloró y la enterró después de un enorme cortejo fúnebre que ofreció en su honor. (Rodeada de ortigas, para que nadie se le acercara). También decretó varios días festivos en honor a ella.
Nerón nunca pudo olvidarla del todo, incluso llegó a sentirse atraído por un hombre esclavo llamado "Esporo", que era asombrosamente identico a la difunta Poppaea. El emperador afectuosamente le llamaba "Mi Poppaeita", lo hizo castrar y le obligo vestirse como Poppea y exigiendole sus servicios carnales.

The Villa Poppaea is an ancient Roman seaside villa (villa maritima) situated between Naples and Sorrento, in southern Italy. The villa itself is a large structure situated in the ancient Roman town of Oplontis (the modern Torre Annunziata). Evidence suggests that it was owned by the Emperor Nero, and believed to have been used by his second wife, Poppaea Sabina, as her main residence when she was not in Rome. The Villa of Poppaea was built during the 1st century B.C. and enlarged until its destruction in August 79 C.E. The villa was not occupied during the eruption, apparently having been undergoing repairs from an earthquake at the time.

Poppaea Sabina
Poppaea Sabina (30–65) — known as Poppaea Sabina the Younger (to differentiate her from her mother) and, after AD 63, as Poppaea Augusta Sabina — was a Roman Empress as the second wife of the Emperor Nero. She had also been wife to the future Emperor Otho. The historians of antiquity describe her as a beautiful woman who used intrigues to become empress.
Early life
Birth
Poppaea Sabina the Younger was born in Pompeii in AD 30 as the daughter of Titus Ollius and Poppaea Sabina the Elder. Most evidence suggesting Poppaea's Pompeiian origins comes from the 20th century excavations of the town, destroyed in the 79 AD eruption of Mount Vesuvius. For instance, legal documents found during excavations in nearby Herculaneum described her as being the owner of a brick- or tile-work business in the Pompeii area. It is very likely that Poppaea's family came from Pompeii, and the common belief is that they might have been the owners of the House of the Menander (a house in Pompeii named for the painting of the 4th century BC playwright Menander that is found there).

Nero
Nero (/ˈnɪəroʊ/; Latin: Nerō Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus; 15 December 37 AD – 9 June 68 AD) was Roman Emperor from 54 to 68, and the last in the Julio-Claudian dynasty. Nero was adopted by his grand-uncle Claudius to become his heir and successor, and succeeded to the throne in 54 following Claudius' death.
Nero focused much of his attention on diplomacy, trade and enhancing the cultural life of the Empire, but according to the historian Tacitus he was viewed by the Roman people as compulsive and corrupt. He ordered theatres built and promoted athletic games. During his reign, the redoubtable general Corbulo conducted a successful war and negotiated peace with the Parthian Empire. His general Suetonius Paulinus crushed a revolt in Britain. Nero annexed the Bosporan Kingdom to the Empire and began the First Roman–Jewish War.
In 64 AD, most of Rome was destroyed in the Great Fire of Rome, which many Romans believed Nero himself had started in order to clear land for his planned palatial complex, the Domus Aurea. In 68, the rebellion of Vindex in Gaul and later the acclamation of Galba in Hispania drove Nero from the throne. Facing a false report of being denounced as a public enemy who was to be executed, he committed suicide on 9 June 68 (the first Roman emperor to do so). His death ended the Julio-Claudian Dynasty, sparking a brief period of civil wars known as the Year of the Four Emperors. Nero's rule is often associated with tyranny and extravagance. He is known for many executions, including that of his mother, and the probable murder by poison of his stepbrother Britannicus.

Claudia Octavia
Claudia Octavia (Classical Latin: CLAVDIA•OCTAVIA) (late AD 39 or early AD 40 – 8 June AD 62) was an Empress of Rome. She was a great-niece of the Emperor Tiberius, paternal first cousin of the Emperor Caligula, daughter of the Emperor Claudius, and stepsister and first wife of the Emperor Nero. Asteroid 598 Octavia is named after her.
Life
Family
Octavia was the only daughter of the Emperor Claudius by his third marriage to his second cousin Valeria Messalina. She was named for her great-grandmother Octavia the Younger, the second eldest and full-blooded sister of the Emperor Augustus. Her elder half-sister was Claudia Antonia, Claudius's daughter through his second marriage to Aelia Paetina, and her full sibling was Britannicus, Claudius's son with Messalina.
Early life
She was born in Rome. As a young girl, her father betrothed her to future praetor Lucius Junius Silanus Torquatus, who was a descendant of Augustus.
Rise of Nero
Octavia's mother was executed in 48, for conspiring to murder her father. Claudius subsequently married his niece (and Octavia's first cousin) Agrippina the Younger. Nero (at that time known as Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus) was Agrippina's son from her first marriage.

During his eight-year marriage to Claudia Octavia, Nero had produced no children, and in AD 62, around the time that he divorced Octavia, Poppaea was pregnant. When this happened, Nero divorced Octavia, claimed she was barren, and he married Poppaea two weeks after the divorce.
The historian Josephus, on the other hand, tells us of a very different Poppaea. He calls her a deeply religious woman (perhaps privately a Jewish proselyte) who urged Nero to show compassion, namely to the Jewish people. However, in 64, she secured the position of procurator of Judaea for her friend's husband, Gessius Florus, who was harmful to the Jews.
She bore Nero one daughter, Claudia Augusta, born on 21 January 63, who died at only four months of age. At the birth of Claudia, Nero honored mother and child with the title of Augusta.

the villa was owned by the Imperial Emperor Nero, but that it was largely used by his notorious second wife, Poppaea, she was a manipulative, scheming woman who married a friend of Nero in order to get close to him. Poppaea seduced Nero and divorced her husband, then convinced him to murder his mother and first wife, leaving her free to step into the role of Empress.
Poppaea filled her villa on the sea with statuary and employed the best artisans to cover the walls with exquisite frescoes and create elaborate mosaic floors. One whole wing housed servants, who would have tended to the needs of guests during lavish parties (some say orgies) that were held around a large swimming pool.

Two thousand years ago a woman called Poppaea Sabina lived in this large seaside villa in the ancient Roman town of Oplontis (now Torre Annuziata) near Pompeii.
Poppaea was the second wife of the brutal Roman Emperor Nero who persecuted the early Christians.
Poppaea is believed to have been the owner of the villa although some historians think that the villa was owned by Emperor Nero himself. Regardless of who was the actual owner, both Nero and Poppaea used the seaside villa.as their second home.
Following the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD.79 the villa, also known as Villa Oplontis, was buried in ash and lay undiscovered until the first phase of excavation began in the 1800's. The second round of excavation began in the 1960s.
To reach the well preserved villa with its beautiful frescoes and Olympic sized pool, take the Circumvesuviana train line and get off at Torre Annunziata - Oplonti (one stop from Pompeii Scavi). On exiting the train station turn left, walk to the end of the street then turn right and continue walking down the hill. The villa is easy to spot and is only a 5 minute walk from the train station.

Poppea Sabina;
Poppaea Sabina (en Latín) fue mujer de Nerón, por quien llegó a ser emperatriz romana y posteriormente reconocida con el título de Augusta. Fue hija de Titus Ollius, quien fue pretor en el regimiento de Tiberio, y su madre fue una distinguida mujer también llamada Popea Sabina La Mayor, que cometería suicidio debido a las intrigas de la emperatriz Mesalina.
Nerón la conoció cierta vez cuando fue a la casa de su favorito "Otón", y se enamoró perdidamente de ella haciéndola su amante. Poppaea ganó gran influencia sobre el emperador y, haciendo uso de ella, le convenció para que mandara matar a "Agripina La Menor", madre de Nerón, ya que ésta resultaba peligrosa para la estabilidad del poder del emperador, así como también para los propios intereses de Poppaea. Agripina sería ejecutada por un centurión en el año 59.
Luego, Poppaea propone a Nerón que se divorcie de su entonces esposa "Claudia Octavia", hija de Claudio para posteriormente exiliarla y ejecutarla, acto que también se cumpliría para beneficio de Poppaea.
Después de dichos horrorosos cometidos Poppaea se casó con Nerón y se convirtió en la nueva emperatriz romana. Poppaea se hizo famosa en Roma por su belleza y coquetería, implantando en la sociedad romana nuevos métodos de belleza, como sus baños en leche de asna para mantener su juventud y al igual que las emperatrices que la precedieron, abusó de su poder cometiendo injusticiasy muchos asesinatos. Se dice que intrigó contra "Séneca", el cual sería obligado a suicidarse.
En el año 63 dio a luz, a la cual la fue llamada "Claudia Augusta", la cual murió poco después de haber nacido, siendo proclamada Augusta al igual que su madre.
Poppaea fue asesinada por el propio Nerón a causa de un puntapié en su vientre (Al parecer cegado por la ebriedad por jugos de uva negra), estando Popea embarazada, lo que le provocó un aborto y su posterior muerte. Arrepentido, la lloró y la enterró después de un enorme cortejo fúnebre que ofreció en su honor. (Rodeada de ortigas, para que nadie se le acercara). También decretó varios días festivos en honor a ella.
Nerón nunca pudo olvidarla del todo, incluso llegó a sentirse atraído por un hombre esclavo llamado "Esporo", que era asombrosamente identico a la difunta Poppaea. El emperador afectuosamente le llamaba "Mi Poppaeita", lo hizo castrar y le obligo vestirse como Poppea y exigiendole sus servicios carnales.

The Villa Poppaea is an ancient Roman seaside villa (villa maritima) situated between Naples and Sorrento, in southern Italy. The villa itself is a large structure situated in the ancient Roman town of Oplontis (the modern Torre Annunziata). Evidence suggests that it was owned by the Emperor Nero, and believed to have been used by his second wife, Poppaea Sabina, as her main residence when she was not in Rome. The Villa of Poppaea was built during the 1st century B.C. and enlarged until its destruction in August 79 C.E. The villa was not occupied during the eruption, apparently having been undergoing repairs from an earthquake at the time.
