Agrippina "The Elder" ROMAN EMPIRE 1601,1746 was born in 12 B.C. Julia was banished for her remaining years and Agrippina never saw her again.

On one occasion, Tiberius ordered a guard to flog her. Tiberius began to distrust Agrippina.

Vipsania Agrippina later married senator and consul Gaius Asinius Gallus Saloninus after Tiberius was forced to divorce her and marry Julia the Elder.

[3] Germanicus was the first son born to Antonia Minor and Nero Claudius Drusus. During her time in Germania, Agrippina had proved herself to be an efficient and effective diplomat.

Div. The Roman historian Tacitus states that Agrippina had an ‘impressive record as wife and mother’. Ann. Agrippina’s actions were considered unusual as for a Roman wife, because a conventional Roman wife was required to stay home. She was a dedicated, supporting wife and mother who looked out for the interests of her children and the future of her family. According to Tacitus, Agrippina’s eldest daughter Agrippina the Younger had written memoirs for posterity. Her practice of accompanying Germanicus on campaigns was considered inappropriate, and her tendency to take command in these situations was viewed with suspicion as subversively masculine. A bronze medal on display in the British Museum shows Agrippina’s ashes being brought back to Rome by Caligula.

With her siblings, Agrippina was raised in Rome by her maternal grandfather and maternal step-grandmother Livia Drusilla. There is a surviving portrait of Agrippina the Elder in the Capitoline Museums in Rome. She was banished on Tiberius’ orders to the island of Pandataria (now called Ventotene) in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the coast of Campania.

A second memoir was about the fortunes of her mother’s family and the last memoir recorded the misfortunes (casus suorum) of the family of Agrippina and Germanicus. Around this time, to avoid any scandals Tiberius divorced Julia and left Rome to live on the Greek island of Rhodes.

She was a loyal, affectionate wife, who supported her husband. With her siblings, Agrippina was raised in Rome by her maternal grandfather and maternal step-grandmother Livia Drusilla.

A second memoir was about the fortunes of her mother’s family and the last memoir recorded the misfortunes (casus suorum) of the family of Agrippina and Germanicus. Between 1 BC-5, Agrippina married her second maternal cousin Germanicus. Agrippina the Elder (14 BC-33 AD) was a member of the Roman royal family during the 1st century AD. Antonia Minor was the second daughter born to Octavia Minor and triumvir Mark Antony, hence Antonia’s maternal uncle was Augustus. In March 37, Tiberius died and Agrippina’s remaining son Caligula succeeded as emperor.

Agrippina had become lonely, distressed, physically ill and many of her relatives had died. google_ad_client = "pub-2707004110972434"; [5] She was played by Fiona Walker in the 1976 TV serial I, Claudius. Agrippina and Augustus had a close relationship. According to Suetonius who had cited from Pliny the Elder, Agrippina had borne to Germanicus, a son called Gaius Julius Caesar who had a lovable character. On the day that the Circus Games occurred, Caligula had a statue made of Agrippina’s image to be paraded in a covered carriage at the Games. Her father’s marriage to Julia was his third marriage. Caligula returned with their ashes in urns in his own hands.
