Dan Snow's History Hit · Agrippina the Younger: Rome's Most Notorious Empress · 29 Jun 2026 podcast

And he completely runs his entire reign into the ground and makes himself the person that when you say bad Roman emperor, he's usually the first person that people talk about.

I think she'd be furious about it.

He did.

Admittedly, she never asked him if he wanted it, but his job was to want it.

And his job was to have children and to continue and to keep the family on their throne.

And he didn't do any of it.

My previous book is Agrippina, The Most Extraordinary Woman of the Roman World.

Thank you so much for having me.
