Had they not reached five foot eight by the age of thirteen, they would have already partaken of every alteration available. They would have

possession of power can corrupt and alter individuals and society. Both works are set in times of political turbulence, times in which people would seize the opportunity to gain absolute power or at least an upper hand over others.

In her earlier years, Agrippina, as well as her mother and older brother, were remorsly mistreated by Emperor Tiberius, who was only a stepson of Augustus. She would have learned at her mother's knee to despise usurpers who were not direct descendants of Augustus. Historians have long suspected that a childhood spent steeped in fear and

She married her cousin, Tiberius Claudius Nero, who was of patrician status, at age 16 in 42 BCE. This was around the same time her first son, Tiberius, was born.
