Ex Fritz Rudolf Künker GmbH & Co. KG, Auction 318, 11 March 2019, lot 1075;
Ex Dr. Klaus Berthold Collection, acquired in March 2004.
Beloved by the people of Rome but hated by her husband, Claudia Octavia's marriage to her stepbrother Nero was surely an unhappy one. The younger daughter of the former emperor Claudius was Nero's first wife when an affair with his mistress Poppaea Sabina resulted in pregnancy. Divorcing Octavia, Nero had her banished to the island of Pandateria on the false pretence that she had committed 'adultery'. The People of Rome demanded her return, but she was soon after executed on the orders of Poppaea.
