Agrippina the Younger was one of the most powerful players in Roman history: a ruthless political operator who clawed her way to co-rule the empire, only to be murdered by the son she put on the throne. We're joined by historian Dr Emma Southon to unravel the extraordinary, blood-soaked life of Rome's most formidable woman.


Emma's latest book is called "Servus: How Slavery Made the Roman Empire".


Produced by Mariana Des Forges and edited by Dougal Patmore.
