19: Nero and the Catastrophic Art of Romance
<p>In this episode of Domina Tempora, we examine Emperor Nero’s turbulent love life — a chaotic blend of power, passion, jealousy, and violence that shocked even the jaded elite of Rome.</p><p>From his loveless political marriage to Octavia (whom he forced to suicide), to his deep attachment to the former slave Acte, his murderous passion for the ambitious Poppaea Sabina (whom he kicked to death while pregnant), his final wife Statilia Messalina, and his scandalous relationships with the men Pythagoras and the tragic Sporus (whom he castrated and “married” as a Poppaea lookalike), Nero’s romances were as dramatic and destructive as his reign.</p><p>We explore how these relationships reflected the toxic intersection of absolute power, imperial insecurity, and personal desire — and why they continue to fascinate us today.</p><p>If tales of forbidden love, dangerous ambition, imperial excess, and the personal cost of power captivate you, my debut novel <strong>Clotho Unbound</strong> dives deep into similar themes of divine politics, forbidden passion, and resistance against tyrannical control. In its pages, Clotho — the Fate who has spun death for Zeus across the ages — becomes entangled with Aphrodite in stolen, blasphemous nights that make the Loom of Fate itself tremble. Their love is treason. Their passion could unravel destiny.</p><p>Clotho Unbound is out now — order your copy today <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Clotho-Unbound-Marianne-Fisher/dp/B0GTZ8PZFV" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">on Amazon</a></p>

18: Three Daughters of Germanicus, Three Sisters of Caligula
<p>In this episode of Domina Tempora, we turn the spotlight on the remarkable and tragic lives of Agrippina the Younger, Drusilla, and Livilla — the three daughters of the beloved Germanicus and Agrippina the Elder, and the sisters of the infamous Emperor Caligula.</p><p>These imperial princesses navigated the deadly intrigues of the Julio-Claudian court with intelligence, ambition, and fierce loyalty. From Drusilla’s rumored closeness with her brother to Agrippina the Younger’s ruthless rise to power as mother of Nero, their stories reveal the dangerous realities faced by women of the imperial family and the heavy cost of proximity to absolute power.</p><p>We explore how these three sisters embodied both the glory and the curse of their legendary bloodline.</p><p>If tales of formidable women, dynastic ambition, palace intrigue, and the complex bonds of family captivate you, my debut novel <strong>Clotho Unbound</strong> dives deep into similar themes of powerful women, forbidden connections, and resistance against tyrannical control. In its pages, Clotho — the Fate who has spun death for Zeus across the ages — becomes entangled with Aphrodite in stolen, blasphemous nights that make the Loom of Fate itself tremble. Their love is treason.

17: Germanicus Had Charisma. Agrippina Had Fury. Caligula Inherited Both.
<p>In this episode of Domina Tempora, we examine the explosive blend of traits that defined one of Rome’s most infamous emperors — Caligula — and the legendary parents who shaped him.</p><p>Germanicus, the beloved golden prince and brilliant general, captured the hearts of Rome with his charisma and military victories. His wife Agrippina the Elder, fiercely loyal and unyielding, brought unbridled fury and political ambition to their union. Together they produced Caligula, who inherited both the magnetic charm and the dangerous intensity of his parents — with tragic and terrifying results.</p><p>We explore how this powerful parental legacy, combined with the toxic environment of Tiberius’s court, helped forge one of history’s most notorious rulers.</p><p>If stories of charismatic leaders, formidable women, dynastic ambition, and the dangerous inheritance of power fascinate you, my debut novel <strong>Clotho Unbound</strong> weaves similar threads of divine politics, forbidden love, and resistance against tyrannical control. In its pages, Clotho — the Fate who has spun death for Zeus across the ages — becomes entangled with Aphrodite in stolen, blasphemous nights that make the Loom of Fate itself tremble. Their love is treason.
