Description
-
Poppaea died while pregnant when Nero kicked her. Refusing to have her cremated, he ordered that her funeral be very elaborate, like those of kings. She was embalmed and buried publicly. In the image, Poppaea’s body is seen being carted around by horses before she is buried. Her funeral was elaborate, and she is dressed in a nice gown and a crown.
