Vibia Sabina

83-136 AD

Vibia Sabina was the wife of the Roman emperor Hadrian, but he preferred male lovers, so he and Sabina had no children. It's been said that Hadrian treated his wife little better than a slave, and may have driven her to suicide. The emperor's (male) secretary, Suetonius, developed an inappropriate relationship with Sabina and was fired.
