The historical tragedy Octavia focuses on Nero’s divorce from the princess Octavia, Claudius’ daughter by Valeria Messalina, and on the emperor’s subsequent marriage to Poppaea Sabina.

This book includes a full-length introduction, a new edition of the text based on a fresh examination of the manuscripts, and a detailed commentary dealing with textual, linguistic, and literary points.
