Na de dood van de Romeinse keizer Caligula, wordt Claudius benoemd tot nieuwe heerser. Aan de kant van deze afgeleefde man staat Messalina, waarvan de schoonheid alleen geëvenaard wordt door haar wreedheid en sluwheid. Achter de rug van haar man spint ze haar web van intriges en trekt ze de macht van het Romeinse Rijk meer en meer naar zichzelf toe. Messalina's minnaar, de oprechte legionair Lucius Maximus, valt voor haar schoonheid.
Nee, helaas is Messalina Venere imperatrice nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
