Poppaea Sabina (c. [[30]]-[[65]]) was the second wife of the Roman Emperor [[Nero]]. The historians of antiquity see in her few good qualities apart from her beauty and focus on her intrigues to become empress. Fifteen centuries later, Claudio Monteverdi depicted her in a more favorable light in his last opera, highlighting her love for the emperor.


She was encountered by the [[First Doctor]], [[Barbara Wright]], [[Ian Chesterton]], and [[Vicki]] during the events of "[[The Romans (TV story)|The Romans]]" in the year [[64]].
