“I fear nothing: Cupid and Fortuna are fighting for me.”

The ambitious Poppea is having an affair with the Roman Emperor Nero. She now gives her former lover Ottone the cold shoulder. When Nero decides to abandon his wife Ottavia in order to make Poppea empress, a rift develops between him and Seneca, his teacher and advisor. Seneca pays for his criticism of the tyrant's actions with his life. Ottavia then forces the distraught Ottone to attempt to assassinate Poppea. But Cupid intervenes…
