News at Eleven: The newly deciphered poem, however, shows

a very different side to this ancient couple. In the poem, Poppaea [Sabina] is depicted being taken away by Aphrodite and told "your children for Nero [both deceased] you will guard them for eternity."

Poppaea does not want this, wishing to stay with Nero.
