Claudia Octavia (March 40- 8 June 62 A.D.) was the daughter of Claudius and Messalina and the first wife of her step-brother Nero. As empress, Octavia was greatly admired and loved by the people of Rome, sparking great jealousy in Nero's ambitious mistress Poppaea Sabina. She persuaded Nero to divorce his wife on trumped up charges of adultery, and Octavia was sent into exile. This paved the way for Poppaea to become Empress instead. The appalled populace of Rome rioted at the news and paraded through the streets with statues of Octavia decked with flowers and calling for her return. A badly frightened Nero nearly agreed, but Poppaea intervened and forced him instead to sign Octavia's death warrant. According to Suetonius Octavia did not die easily. After several unsuccessful attempts, she was finally suffocated in a steam bath. Her head was cut off and taken back for Poppaea's viewing. For alternate uses, see Number 40. ...
