Today will go down in infamy as a truly horrible day for the Claudian house. Our sources confirm that Octavia, after her second banishment in to exile by her husband, Emperor Nero, has been killed on the Island of Pandataria. Rumors abound that, in a bizarre act of cruelty, her head had been severed and sent back to Poppaea in Rome as proof of the deed having been completed.
It’s no secret that Emperor Nero has been having an affair with Poppae for the last five years or so; however, many citizens of Rome are upset, and asking if it was necessary to have Octavia killed.
Octavia was the last survivor of the Domus Claudia lineage, with both her father and brother having been killed via poisoning not long ago. With her dies another era of Roman history.

Nero has wanted to be rid of Octavia for quite some time now and it was only by means of public outcry that she was allowed to return to Rome after her initial banishment to Campania. Many Romans are now wondering if she might have been better off just staying in Campania.
The staff of Sententia Publicus, along with the people of Rome mourn Octavia's death, and ask all to say a prayer to the gods for her.
