One title on the list:Agrippina: Sex, Power, and Politics in the Early Empire, by Anthony A. BarrettRead about another book on the list.
The life of Agrippina the Younger has been subject to much sensational speculation, but Barrett takes a deeper look at the wife of Claudius and mother of Emperor Nero. Did one of Rome’s most powerful women use sex and manipulation to get her way? Absolutely, Barrett shows, but not without reason.
