The spotted cat wasn't tiger, astra. It was jaguar, or leopard, or cheetah.

Quite a time, her marriage to Nero. She spent a lot of time convincing him to kill people, including his mother. Finally, he supposedly killed her in a rather tragic manner - he kicked her in the stomach while she was pregnant. There is some disagreement as to the actual facts in the case, however. But no matter how, someone in that marriage was bound to get killed sooner or later anyway. The very picture of a dysfunctional relationship.
Oh, those crazy Romans...

Thanks for History lesson Nash. Nero and Pop Max are aliens to me. Well, that and with familiar names, I always mistake which belongs to which, Greek or Roman.
It's just 6:30 am here. I'm up early today. Big breakfast to make up the missing dinner last night, then go shopping
then go search a house.
