  Poppaea Sabina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Poppaea Sabina (died 65) was the second wife of the Roman Emperor Nero.
Her mother, also called Poppaea Sabina, was a distinguished woman, whom the ancient sources describe as a wealthy beauty and a woman of distinction.
The father of the elder Sabina was Gaius Poppaeus Sabinus, who was consul of A.D. In Tiberius’ reign, he received a miliary triumph, for ending a revolt in Thrace in A.D. From A.D. 15 until his death, he served as Imperial Governor of Greece and in other provinces.

 Nero (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) :: Bible Tools
The former had a wife as ambitious as she was unprincipled, and endowed, according to Tacitus, with every gift of nature except an "honorable mind." Already divorced before marrying Otho, she was minded to employ Otho merely as a tool to enable her to become Nero's consort.
With the appearance of Poppea Sabina, for such was her name, opens the second period of Nero's reign.
Poppea was now empress, and the next year bore a daughter to Nero, but the child died when only three months old.

 Valori di Napoli - Oplontis
Il sito ove è stata ritrovata la villa di Poppea, (si ritiene infatti che questa villa, edificata nella metà del I sec.
a.C. sia appartenuta a Poppea Sabina, seconda moglie dell’Imperatore Nerone), è uno dei più grandiosi e meglio conservati esempi di villa d’otium.
In parte abbandonata all’epoca dell’eruzione, perché in attesa del completamento dei lavori cominciati a seguito del forte terremoto del 62, la villa per la ricchezza dei decori e la bellezza del panorama non aveva nulla da invidiare alle residenze imperiali di Baia, Capri o Sperlonga.

 NERONE IMPERATORE - CRONOLOGIA DAL 54 AL 68 D.C.
Era, questa, Poppea Sabina, figlia della donna dello stesso nome, perita vittima dell' invidia e della gelosia di Messalina.
Poppea era stata moglie del cavaliere Crispino Rufo; poi lo aveva lasciato per unirsi in matrimonio col ricchissimo Salvio Otone, compagno di orge dell'imperatore.
Il popolo applaudì all'imperatore e manifestò il suo sdegno contro Poppea abbattendone la statua; ma la nuova imperatrice, per nulla atterrita, volle immediata vendetta: costrinse il marito a far cacciare e frustare coloro che abbattevano le statue di lei e fece mettere nuovamente sotto processo Ottavia.

Le pareti delle stanze, inoltre, conservano le tracce di affreschi con scene di bagnanti, maschere, uccelli e cesti di fiori e frutta, tutto in un’ esplosione di fantasia, colori e lusso.

Al contrario, Poppea, divenuta imperatrice svolge azione politica a favore degli Ebrei tanto che aderì all'idea monoteistica e fece pratiche religiose tali da meritare l'appellativo: "donna timorosa di Dio"'.

 ITALIA ANNO 57 D.C.
Si è scritto molto sulle sue scorribande notturne (dai suoi biografi detrattori), ma visto il clima di palazzo e la sua età si può convenire che queste fughe erano una esigenza, una evasione da quella ambiguità che doveva circolare nella sua corte e soprattutto in quella parentale.
Poppea non era di meno, in più era ritenuta una donna di una intelligenza vivace e versatile, inoltre aveva ereditato dalla madre un grande fascino sensuale.
Allontanò il marito dandogli un lontano governatorato e iniziò a frequentare ogni sera Poppea, che però non poteva accontentarsi di essere soltanto l'amante dell'imperatore.

 Historia
En medio de sus correrías, el regordete Nerón se enamoró perdidamente de Poppea Sabina, una aristócrata que estaba muy casada pero no atada a su marido Salvius Otto, quien estaba tan prendado de su belleza que la vestía ostentosamente para que la admiraran aún más.
Poppea se resistió a ser solamente una amante, y exigió que Nerón se divorciara de Octavia, cosa que no le convenía a Agripina.
E igual que cualquier donjuan nica que confronta a su airada esposa, Poppea sencillamente recibió como respuesta una olímpica patada en el vientre, muriendo tanto ella como la criatura que esperaba.

Playing Poppea's nurse, Arnalta, as a drag queen, Rivera-Gonzales wielded voice and Lee press-on nails to the audible appreciation of the audience.
Also notable were Mollie Dustin as the dominatrix-clad whip-wielding goddess Amore, Derrick Purvis as the Woodstock-esque stoic philosopher Seneca, and Christine Thompson as the fading beauty queen and ex-wife of Nerone, Ottavia.

 NZDWFC: TSV4: Book Review: The Romans
The book is refreshingly original in its narrative form - The Myth Makers was written with Homer recalling what happened years ago, and similarly, Doc Holliday recalls the past just before his death in The Gunfighters, though the narration is through one 'Ned Buntline' who interviews the aged gunfighter.
As if these ideas weren't original enough, Cotton then goes even further: The Romans is a collection of 29 documents - extracts from the Doctor's diary, Ian's journal, Barbara's letters to Nero, Nero's scrapbook, Poppea Sabina's commonplace book, Locusta's autobiography, and Ascaris' letters to Locusta (his mother).
All these are held together by the historian Tacitus, years after the event (again), under the reign of Hadrian (he of the wall).
