I became so jumpy and paranoid getting in and out my car until I just had to tell myself, enough is enough. I was no longer going to let some women make me afraid to live in my own home.

Suetonius gives a detailed account of Nero’s ancestors, writing anecdotes of their horrid deeds, and describing them as irresolute, arrogant, cruel,…

To help her plan, his mother, Agrippina the Younger, married Emperor Claudius when Nero was a small boy. Many historians claim that this was Agrippina’s manipulative plan all along.
