Watching Ep. 4 from Domina 2 I wanted to capture this moment. This is the only scene in which I really liked Vipsania, when she saves her half-brother Lucius Caesar from her father's wrath. But this image, extrapolated from the original context, made me think of our beloved Vipsania with little Drusus Minor. She and Tiberius certainly loved their only son very much, and this is how I always imagined a sweet moment between mother and son.

thanks for answering my question! Whenever you have more time for requests for Domina can you do the outfits of the kids generation like Marcella, Antonina, Antonia, Vipsania and Julia and maybe some of the guys too? Thank you!! :)

Sure. I still have an outstanding request from season 01 about Marcella and Antonia anyway, so I will combine these. I already did Julia's from the first season btw.

Who of the many women that surrounded Mark Antony could you see yourself being FRIENDS with? Not who you admire the most but who you'd enjoy drinks and dishing the dirt with the most

It's honestly kind of hilarious how the "Julio-Claudian" Dynasty is really a bunch of Antonians. Over half of the emperors and most of the influential women of the family are all Antonians

Laura Morante as Agrippina in Imperium: Nerone

[theantonian]

Emperor Claudius died on this day in 54 AD.

He was 63 and had reigned for 13 years and 9 months. He was allegedly murdered by poison, either via mushrooms he ate or on a feather. His wife and niece, Agrippina the Younger, was the chief suspect.

Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, commonly known as Claudius, was the fourth Roman emperor, reigning from AD 41 to 54. He was born on August 1, 10 BC in Lugdunum, Gaul (modern-day Lyon, France). Claudius was the grandson of Triumvir Marcus Antonius through his daughter, Antonia minor. He was the first Roman emperor to be born outside of Italy. He was a member of the Julio-Claudian dynasty and was declared emperor by the Praetorian Guard after Caligula’s assassination. Despite his lack of experience, Claudius was an able and efficient administrator. He expanded the imperial bureaucracy to include freedmen and helped restore the empire’s finances after the excesses of Caligula’s reign. He was also an ambitious builder, constructing new roads, aqueducts, and canals across the Empire. During his reign, the Empire started its successful conquest of Britain.

6 and 8 for the history ask meme!

I sorry I took so long to answer this! I kept putting off answering and then I kind of forgot.

6. HF I never expected to like as much as I do

I think it has to be Claudius. For context, we're going to have to back up a few years.

When I was a little hellaboo and loved ancient Greece and stuff, I vowed NEVER EVER to like ancient Rome. I HATED ancient Rome and I was always like "Omg I'd never forgive myself if I started liking Roman history! Ancient Rome is the worst and ancient Greece is the best and it's everyone's problem!" Yes, I was that type of ancient Greece fan :(

And then I found out about Claudius and fell in love with him. Lol!

8. An obscure HF who needs more love

Britannicus!

I'd kill for a historical fiction novel—or any historical media for that matter—from his perspective. It would be so interesting! He's often kind of forgotten in the late Julio-Claudian dynasty. If he ever shows up in historical fiction, he's mostly just used as a little side piece to show how evil Nero and/or Agrippina are. We never often get to see what he thinks and details about him and stuff like that, which is a shame.

I think historical fiction about him has so many opportunities to be amazing and interesting! I liked Kento Ankokuden Cestvs because it actually got into a bit of detail about Brit and his emotions and his relationship with Octavia. Alas, Britannicus is only a minor character in it.

With actual non-fiction historical works, not going to lie, I can't blame them for not going very in depth with Britannicus. Because honestly, we don't know that much about him. He was also a child and not very important most of the time. So I totally understand why the modern sources about him are a little sparse.

But, I am yet to find a true deep dive into whether he was poisoned or not in English! At least, one I'm happy with. Anthony A. Barrett doesn't count; he wrote like one paragraph and failed to go into detail. Anyway, I do think maybe we Anglophones should step up a little with Britannicus in academia. The French are beating us!

"Well why do you like Britannicus so much?" you might ask. And I don't know honestly. I liked him for a reason, but at some point, I forgot that reason and continued liking him. And now, I've just been liking him for so long that of course I'm going to continue liking him.

Antonia, Livia's daughter-in-law, obviously enjoyed her company. After the death of Drusus, she chose to remain a univira and live close to Livia. Livia kept Julia the Younger going during her long exile (hypocritically, according to Tacitus), with financial and probably emotional support as well. Julia's daughter, Agrippina the Elder, was shielded from Sejanus by Livia.

Hi! Can you do all of Antonina and Vipsania’s outfits from Domina season 2?

Once I have watched the season (which I haven't yet), sure.
