	Poppaea Sabina — Infoplease.com
		Poppaea Sabina was married to two Roman emperors, Marcus Salvius Otho, who ruled from January to April, A.D. 69, and the more famous Nero, who ruled from A.D. 54 to A.D. Poppaea became Nero's mistress when she was still married to Otho.
		Nero kicked Poppaea herself to death in A.D. 65 during a fit of rage at one of their drunken parties.
		The story of Nero and Poppaea lives on classical culture as the subject of an opera by Claudio Monteverdi, L'incoronazione di Poppea, or The Coronation of Poppaea, written in 1642.

	Nero
		Poppaea, who was described as a notably beautiful woman and later married Nero, was simultaneously involved in a love affair with Marcus Salvius Otho, a good and intimate friend of Nero himself; Otho was as dissolute as Nero.
		However, Poppaea became Nero's mistress in 58 and is supposed having organised Agrippina's murder (59) with Nero's acquiescence.
		Soon Nero found a new counselor in Gaius Ofonius Tigellinus (previously exiled by Caligula for adultery with Agrippina), soon appointed a praetorian praefect; one of the earliest effects of Tigellinus' advancement was the introduction of a series of treason laws; numerous of capital sentences were carried out.

		At long last, Poppaea victoriously marries Nero and begins "dominating him as his wife, as she had long dominated him as his mistress" (Tacitus 341).
		Poppaea challenges Laura Mulvey's concept that men "cannot bear the burden of sexual objectification" (IIIB) as she is constantly monitoring whichever lucky prefect happens to have caught her fancy.
		The cinematic Poppaea also supports Mulvey's view of the ways in which women are fetishized, as she is constantly posing for the pleasure of her male viewers.

		Nero's passion for Poppaea was probably the immediate cause of his mother's death.
		Poppaea aspired to marry the emperor, but she had no hopes of succeeding in her design while Agrippina lived, and accordingly she used all her arts to urge Nero to remove out of the way a woman who kept him in tutelage and probably aimed at his ruin.
		Not satisfied with putting away his wife, he was instigated by Poppaea to charge her with adultery, for which there was not the slightest ground, and she was banished to the little island of Pandataria, where she was shortly after put to death.

		Nero had just married his mistress, the beautiful and profligate Poppaea Sabina, to satisfy whose ambition he had first divorced his long-suffering wife Octavia and was within a few weeks to order her murder.
		Now Poppaea was, if not actually a Jewish proselyte, one of that outer circle of adherents to Judaism known as ‘God-fearers.’ Her influence with the Emperor was now exerted on behalf of the Jewish embassy, with the result that Nero decided in their favour.
		The above was not an isolated act of interference by Poppaea on behalf of the Jews.

		I may add that when Scipio was called on for his opinion, he replied, "As I think what all men think about the deeds of Poppaea, suppose me to say what all men say." A graceful compromise this between the affection of the husband and the necessities of the senator.

	Roman Emperors - DIR Otho
		These traits apparently persisted: Suetonius records that Otho and Nero became close friends because of the similarity of their characters; and Plutarch relates that the young man was so extravagant that he sometimes chided Nero about his meanness, and even outdid the emperor in reckless spending.
		Most intriguing in this context is Otho's involvement with Nero's mistress, Poppaea Sabina, the greatest beauty of her day.
		As a result, it is impossible to establish who seduced whom, whether Otho ever married Poppaea, and whether his posting to Lusitania by Nero should be understood as a "banishment" for his part in this affair.

		In their particular Roman context the paired masks of Poppaea and Nero, both worn by the last Julio-Claudian, constitute both a scandal and a warning.
		Yet this does not explain the use of Poppaea's mask, an act which, whatever its motivation, could certainly be interpreted by its audience as mockery.
		Finally, Nero forbids C. Cassius to attend Poppaea's funeral and then sends a message to the Senate, asking for Cassius's removal; one of the grounds is keeping a bust (effigiem) of C. Cassius the tyrannicide among his family imagines, displayed with a daring inscription (duci partium, 16.7.2).
