Octavia is a work of exceptional historical and dramatic interest.
It is the only surviving complete example of the Roman historical
drama known as the fabula praetexta. Written shortly after Nero's
death by an unknown author, the play deals with events at the court
of Nero in the decisive year 62 CE, for which it is the earliest
extant (almost contemporary) literary source; its main themes are
sex, murder, politics, power and the perceptions and constructions
of history. It is a powerful, lyrical and spectacular play. This is
the first critical edition of Octavia, with verse translation and
commentary, which aims to elucidate the text dramatically as well
as philologically, and to locate it firmly in its historical and
theatrical context. The verse translation is designed for both
performance and serious study.
