Page "Agrippina the Younger" Paragraph 91

* Ferrero: Sympathetic and understanding, suggesting Agrippina has been judged harshly by history.

Suggesting her marriage to Claudius was to a weak emperor who was, because of his hesitations and terrors, a threat to the imperial authority and government.

She saw it her duty to compensate for the innumerable deficiencies of her strange husband through her own intelligence and strength of will.
