Nero's Assassination of Britannicus: The Poisoned Prince
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the murder of Britannicus, Nero's stepbrother and rival, in 55 AD. They examine the political context after Claudius's death, the role of Agrippina, Tacitus and Suetonius's accounts, the poison specialist Locusta, and the public perception of the crime. The discussion covers the clash between Agrippina and Nero, the use of aconite, the rushed funeral, and how this set the stage for Nero's consolidation of power.
