@neckronn99 you forget it all began with romulis and remus, murder will out.

With all her coldness Antonia exemplified the Stoic virtues, which philosophical orientation her son Claudius was also tied to. When she criticises Apicata for her lack of civic sense, she's merely saying things that would bear repetition in today's USA, or UK.

Excellent story line! Fantastic writing! This is what is needed in movies and television today.

@Memoria777 not sure how accurate this is but from what I read Rome was everything not ppl. how they acted, their families, their name, was all for Rome The least little thing that could reflect badly on your family / name reflected badly for Rome and was not tolerated because it made Rome look flawed and weak Also this was before Christ where you did not look kindly on diabilities or weaknessess and such In short you needed to be strong and perfect for the empire.if not you were left to die

I don't know how close the Antonia of the books/this series is to the historical person. Having said that, this Antonia irritates the crap out of me. I can't stand people who play at being morally superior, while be blind to the facts right in front of them. As far as Rome going wrong, well, that started generations before, during the Republic-- the Empire just carried it to its logical end.

I have to wonder if Antonia is a bit of a fool herself. She has such high expectations but is too slow to realize there's something afoot much less connect the dots soon enough.  Even her famous father knew such intrigues too well if only a little too late.

@Memoria777 You have to admit how she realizes that the one son she regarded so little outlives the son and daughter who end up dying during the intrigues of Tiberius.

[Memoria777]

Antonia is my least favourite main character. I think she's a judgemental bitch, doing nothing other than constantly criticising everyone & their actions. Rome is everything to her, people are of no importance.
