Quotes by Anthony A. Barrett (?)

“En cierto sentido, Mesalina se asemeja a Agripina y las valoraciones de las que es objeto reflejan la irresistible comparación. [...] La principal diferencia, al menos en términos de imagen, estaba en su vida privada. Agripina, como veremos, se valía del sexo como una herramienta para obtener sus fines políticos. Para Mesalina, por el contrario, el sexo representaba, a manos llenas y con cuántos hombres fuera posible, un fin en sí mismo. O eso se nos pide que creamos.”
― Anthony A. Barrett, Agrippina: Sex, Power, and Politics in the Early Empire
