Agrippina marries her uncle Claudius and uses her new position to secure Nero’s adoption and advance him ahead of the emperor’s natural son, Britannicus. Nero is educated for rule, married to Octavia and drawn into a court where every friendship may conceal a faction. As Claudius’s succession becomes increasingly dangerous, the alliance between mother and son begins to carry the seeds of the rivalry that will later divide them.
