Pressestimmen
A lively and intermittently potty-mouthed biography of Nero's remarkable mother contains fascinating vignettes of Roman life, and explores why Roman authors wrote about women in the way that they did.A remarkable biography. Southon delivers her research and speculations with enormous wit, a feminist outlook, and charming vulgarity. This sassy biography will rope in even those who think they're not interested in ancient Rome.-- (05/13/2019)

Agrippina: The Most Extraordinary Woman in the Roman World gives readers something that is hard to find: a biography of a Roman woman. Agrippina: sister of Caligula, wife of Claudius, mother of Nero. She was loved and reviled, praised and curse- both today and during her lifetime. Agrippina created new roles for imperial women, and pushed (or outright broke) the accepted role of women in Roman life. Emma Southon looks at Agrippina's life as it can be pieced together from ancient sources, but she also gives readers perfect examples of why those sources can't necessarily be trusted. She immerses the reader in the culture of the Roman world so we can see how our modern views on women, politics, and life in general were not those of Tacitus, Seutonius, and the histories they wrote.That True History can't always be discovered and sometimes the historian has to make their best assumptions- but should also be willing to admit that they are assumptions.It is clear that Southon is an expert in all things Aggripina and ancient Rome and has done her research. But her writing style isn't designed to overwhelm the reader with how much she knows or how amazingly academic she is. Instead, Southon writes as if she is a friend trying to describe Agrippina's life to you over a pint at the local pub. She is in full casual, brilliant, story-telling mode; she shreds her original sources for their clear prejudices and unreliability; and presents it all with sparkling English humor, wit, and occasional vulgarity that left me laughing at many of her opinions and insights. Southon reconstructs Agrippina's life through ancient sources, gives her views on what was mostly likely to happen when Agrippina wasn't being written about, and does a wonderful job of explaining why she thinks that way while reminding the reader when something is only her speculation or opinion.If you only read one book in your life on Agrippina, or the Roman Empire as a whole, it needs to be Emma Southon's Agrippina: The Most Extraordinary Woman in the Roman World. It is a book for people who love history and are looking for a more feminist light to be shone on ancient sources, for those who love history and want to celebrate powerful women the Romans tried to hide in the shadows. It is also a book for people who think they don't like history and that history is boring. Just a few pages into Agrippina will convert even the most hardened "history isn't for me" believers.I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
Agrippina the Younger, granddaughter of Augustus, Rome’s first emperor; daughter of the popular general Germanicus and his formidable wife, also named Agrippina; sister of Caligula; empress of Claudius and mother of Nero, has always gotten extremely bad press, from the time of the early historians who accused her of incest with both her brother and her son as well as the murder of her husband Claudius. Her portrayal in Robert Graves’ immensely popular and influential novel I, Claudius only cemented her reputation as an immoral woman who would do anything for power. Author Emma Southon aims in Agrippina: The Most Extraordinary Woman of the Roman World to balance the scales a bit.As Southon points out at the beginning of her book, we have virtually no contemporary information about Agrippina and most of what we do know about her life comes from only a few authors who wrote much later and had agendas, using her both to comment on the flaws of the men around her and to portray her as everything a Roman woman should not be - a treatment which had also been meted out to earlier women such as Marc Antony’s wife Fulvia.She then proceeds, in a lively, conversational fashion but with, at least as far as I could tell, impressive knowledge* and erudition, to lay out her case. (Fair warning: This is not your conventional scholarly biography, including plenty of opinion, asides to the reader on such annoyances of the naming conventions for Roman women, and the occasional f-bomb, including reference to a scurrilous rumor about a British politician and a pig as an example of the kind of stories that make the rounds today, despite people knowing that they’re false.) She sees her subject as a highly intelligent, competent woman who for a good part of her life, did follow the template of patrician Roman womanhood, but who also had a healthy desire to preserve her own life and that of her son - especially after seeing virtually her entire family die violent and/or unnatural deaths - and who wished to use her intelligence and competence to advance herself and her family, mainly Nero. Southon argues that Agrippina was actually a positive influence on Claudius, pointing out that the instability of his early reign largely subsided after their marriage, and far from portraying her as a saint, is willing to entertain the possibility that she did murder him. Sadly, however, Agrippina was unable to exert the same kind of influence on Nero, who after initially seeming to accept her as a co-ruler, as she had essentially been with Claudius, rejected her early on and eventually had her murdered in what started as a spectacular comedy of errors (although ending tragically) that has entered the realm of legend.*There was only one thing I found that was actually wrong - presumably something that was typed incorrectly and hopefully will be fixed in the final published version - a reference to Antonius Felix, procurator of Judea, marrying the daughter of Antony and Cleopatra, when by my reckoning the woman was actually their great-granddaughter.I received this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
