Page "Agrippina the Younger" Paragraph 1

Agrippina the Younger has been described by both the ancient and modern sources as ‘ ruthless, ambitious, violent and domineering ’.

She was a beautiful and reputable woman and according to Pliny the Elder, she had a double canine in her upper right jaw, a sign of good fortune.

Many ancient historians accuse Agrippina of poisoning Emperor Claudius, though accounts vary.
