Talk synopsis: The indomitable mother. The victimised half-sister. The demanding mistress. The formidable wife. Behind every great man stands a woman: behind, beside, and beyond Roman emperor Nero, there were four. This talk brings into the spotlight the women of Nero’s household and their powerful influence over his life, rule, and legacy.
