Abstract
Further to the argument of Deline (2015), it is argued that Tacitus deliberately reversed the sequence of charges brought against Agrippina the Elder and her son Nero in A.D. 27 and A.D. 29, and deliberately misdated the charges brought against them in A.D. 29 after rather than before the death of the empress Livia, to reinforce his negative depiction of Livia as an interfering and controlling mother.
