In this dynamic new biography - the first on Agrippina in English - Professor Barrett uses the latest archaeological, numismatic and historical evidence to provide a close and detailed study of her life and career. He shows how Agrippina's political contribution to her time seems in fact to have been positive, and that when she is judged by her achievements she demands admiration. Revealing the true figure behind the propaganda and the political machinations of which she was capable, he assesses the impact of her marriage to the emperor Claudius, on the country and her family. Finally, he exposed her one real failing - her relationship with her son, the monster of her own making to whom, in horrific and violent circumstances, she would eventually fall victim.

Biography of Gaius Cilnius Maecenas. Although Maecenas is now known primarily as a patron of the arts, he was also the right arm of Augustus, and he played a fundamental political role in the period of the Triumvirate. This work seeks to describe the place of Maecenas as an individual in the society of his time, without treating him as an example or a model, without isolating him from the social frameworks that established his position, nor losing him in the confused mass of societal movements over his lifetime. A study of the social personality constructed by Maecenas, mainly based on an Etruscan ancestry that he largely reworked, places him as an individual within a larger trend of revaluing local identities in Italy, encouraged by Augustus in order to serve the Conjuratio Italiae, on which he based his authority. This work attempts to restore the place of Maecenas not at the heart of a literary circle, but at the intersection of many networks of intellectual, political, and geographic affinities. Through a study of the different facets of a man immersed in the movements that profoundly transformed Rome, we may better understand the rise of Roman imperial society.
