mother of the Roman emperor Nero and a powerful influence on him duringthe early years of his reign (54–68).

Agrippina was the daughter of the elder Agrippina, sister of the emperorGaius, or Caligula (37–41), and wife of the emperor Claudius(41–54). Shehad been exiled in 39 for taking part in a conspiracy against Gaius butwas allowed to return to Rome in 41. Her first husband, Gnaeus DomitiusAhenobarbus, was Nero's father. She was accused of poisoning her secondhusband, Passienus Crispus, in 49. She married Claudius, her uncle, thatsame year and induced him to adopt Nero as heir to the throne in place ofhis own son. She also protected Seneca and Burrus, who were to be Nero'stutors and advisers in the early part of his reign.

In 54 Claudius died, perhaps after being poisoned by Agrippina. BecauseNero was only 16 when he succeeded Claudius, Agrippina at first attemptedto play the role of regent. Her power gradually weakened, however, asNero came to take charge of the government. As a result of her oppositionto Nero's affair with Poppaea Sabina, the Emperor decided to murder hismother. Inviting her to Baiae, he had her set forth on the Bay of Naplesin a boat designed to sink, but she swam ashore. Eventually she was putto death on Nero'sorders at her country house.
