POPPAEA (Sabina), daughter of Titus Ollius, was married to Nero, as his second wif, A.D. 63. This woman, equally celebrated for her beauty and voluptuous extravagance, was three years afterwards the victim of that execrable tyrant's murderous brutality. She died in consequence of the injuries she recieved from a kick, which Nero, in a fit of anger, gave her on the abdomen, when she was in a state of pregnancy.
With the exception of two small brass, no Latin coins referring to this princess are known. Upon these her name is inscribed as DIVI POPPAEA, on the reverse of that of her daughter Claudia. Thes medals, says Mionnet, seem to have been struck in some colony. -- See CLAVDIA, the daughter of Nero.
