After Agrippina's death, Nero viewed her corpse and commented how beautiful she was, according to some.Tacitus, Annals XIV.9. Her body was cremated that night on a dining couch. At his mother's funeral, Nero was witless, speechless and rather scared. When the news spread that Agrippina had died, the Roman army, senate and various people sent him letters of congratulations that he had been saved from his mother's plots.
