Agrippina the Younger was born into the highest circles of Roman power as the daughter of Germanicus and Agrippina the Elder. Her marriage to Emperor Claudius and position as mother to Nero placed her at the center of imperial succession struggles. Her political acumen and determination to secure her son's future made her both influential and vulnerable in the treacherous world of Roman court politics.
