	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Nero
		When Nero had seduced Poppaea Sabina, the wife of his friend Salvius Otho, she resented playing the role of concubine and aspired to that of empress.
		Now when through hatred of Poppaea she undertook to protect the interests of Octavia, to whom indeed Nero owed his throne, the son determined to rid himself of his mother.
		Poppaea now assumed the title of Augusta, her image was stamped upon the coin of the Roman State, and her opponents were murdered by dagger or poison.

	Poppaea Sabina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Poppaea Sabina (died 65) was the second wife of the Roman Emperor Nero.
		Sabina was the daughter of Titus Ollius, a praetor in the reign of the Emperor Tiberius.
		With Agrippina gone, Poppaea's influence over Nero became so great that due to the pressure she put on him, he divorced (and later executed) his first wife Octavia in order to marry Poppaea in A.D. The new empress had many other unfortunates who challenged her power murdered or sent into exile.

		of Poppaea Sabina, the wife of his companion Otho, a woman notorious for her dissolute conduct.
		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.

	Life Transformations
		It was hardly surprising that Octavia had never born children, Nero despised, ignored and neglected her; he was far more interested in Poppaea Sabina (who was married to the future Emperor Otho) and had been conducting an affair with her since 59 CE.
		By 65 CE, Poppaea was pregnant again, but Nero was supposed to have kicked her to death in a fit of temper.
		Poppaea was by no means a popular figure, Tacitus refers to her "backstairs intrigues" (Tacitus: Histories I.22), but her murder was received badly.

		Among them was Sporus, one of his lovers, who bore a resemblance to Nero's second wife, Poppaea Sabina, whom he had kicked to death in a fit of temper when she dared to reprimand him on his late return from a chariot race.
		The Coronation of Poppaea is essentially an examination of the pervasive nature of desire, perceived both as a motivating force within the human psyche and as a metaphysical entity that guides a cosmos in which conventional morality has become redundant.
		Nero's desire for Poppaea, and her determination to achieve political ascendancy by exploiting him, are conveyed in music of such tangible eroticism that it obliterates everything in its path, though Seneca's calmly dignified utterances and Octavia's implacable imprecations resonate in the listener's memory long after both characters have been silenced.

	The Portraiture of Caligula
		It is far more likely, however, that Poppaea, who had been raised in a polytheistic culture, was willing to perform an act of worship to the Jewish God, as a gesture of courtesy to the ambassadors, without feeling the need to renounce belief in her own religion.
		Poppaea’s cornucopiae would allude to her fertility, the occasion for her newly acquired title, and would identify this mother of an imperial child with the empire’s well-being.
		Poppaea’s portraits, however, were probably scarcer to begin with, given her relatively low public profile, leaving fewer to escape destruction.
