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

Agrippina was born in Athens, as in the year of her birth Agrippa was in that city completing official duties on behalf of Augustus.

Julia was banished for her remaining years and Agrippina never saw her again.

With her siblings, Agrippina was raised in Rome by her maternal grandfather and maternal step-grandmother Livia Drusilla.

Augustus made her record any daily activities she did in the imperial day book and the emperor took severe measures in preventing Agrippina from forming friendships, without his consent.

Between 1 BC-5, Agrippina married her second maternal cousin Germanicus.

Eventually Agrippina was proud of her large family and this was a part of the reason she was popular with Roman citizens.

During her time in Germania, Agrippina had proved herself to be an efficient and effective diplomat.

The Roman citizens had great sympathy for Agrippina and her family.

Agrippina had become lonely, distressed, physically ill and many of her relatives had died.

Tiberius took Agrippina by her hand and quoted the Greek line: “ And if you are not queen, my dear, have I then you wrong ?”

In 26, Agrippina requested Tiberius to allow her to marry her brother-in-law, Roman Senator Gaius Asinius Gallus Saloninus.

Agrippina later stated that Tiberius tried to poison her.

In 29, Agrippina and her sons Nero and Drusus, were arrested on the orders of Tiberius.

After the Circus Games, Caligula ordered written evidence of the court cases from Tiberius ’ treason trials to be brought to the Forum to be burnt, first being the cases of Agrippina and her two sons.

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.

Tacitus described her as “ determined and rather excitable ”-" Agrippina knew no feminine weaknesses.

Throughout her life, Agrippina always prized her descent from Augustus, upbraiding Tiberius for persecuting the blood of his predecessor ; Tacitus, in writing of the occasion, believed this behaviour to be part of the beginning of " the chain of events leading to Agrippina's end.

Agrippina was the first Roman matron to have more than one child from her family to reign on the Roman throne.

Agrippina the Younger was thereafter supervised by her mother, her paternal grandmother Antonia Minor, and her great-grandmother, Livia, all of them notable, influential, and powerful figures from whom she learnt how to survive.

The six children who survived to adulthood were the sons: Nero Caesar, Drusus Caesar and Caligula born as Gaius Julius Caesar Germanicus and the daughters Julia Agrippina or Agrippina the Younger, Julia Drusilla and Julia Livilla.

This marriage produced five children, three sons and two daughters: Gaius Caesar, Lucius Caesar, Julia the Younger, Agrippina the Elder, and Postumus Agrippa.

* Agrippina the Elder is exiled to the island of Pandataria, and her sons ( except Caligula ) are imprisoned by Lucius Aelius Sejanus.

Agrippina herself and two of her sons, Nero and Drusus were arrested and exiled in 30, and later starved to death in suspicious circumstances.

Livia Drusilla, Valeria Messalina, and Agrippina the Younger clearly function as the powers behind their husbands, lovers, fathers, brothers, sons and / or daughters.

Agrippina and Germanicus were devoted to each other.

Their children were born at various places throughout the Roman Empire and Agrippina acquired a well-deserved reputation for successful childbearing.

At this spot, there were local altars inscribed as a dedication to Agrippina: “ IN HONOR OF AGRIPPINA ’ S PUERPERIUM ”.

Agrippina ’ s actions were considered unusual as for a Roman wife, because a conventional Roman wife was required to stay home.

During the reign of Caligula, coins like the one pictured here were issued depicting his three sisters, Drusilla, Livilla and Agrippina the Younger.

Agrippina and her younger sisters Julia Drusilla and Julia Livilla received various honors from their brother, which included but were not limited to:

In 39, Agrippina and Livilla, with their maternal cousin, Drusilla's widower Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, were involved in a failed plot to murder Caligula, a plot known as the Plot of the Three Daggers, which was to make Lepidus the new emperor.

Lepidus, Agrippina and Livilla were accused of being lovers.

Agrippina and Livilla were exiled by their brother to the Pontine Islands.

His sisters were Agrippina the Younger, Julia Drusilla, and Julia Livilla.

Agrippina and Caligula's brother, Nero, were banished in AD 29 on charges of treason.

His favorite sister Julia Drusilla died in AD 38 of a fever: his other two sisters, Livilla and Agrippina the Younger, were exiled.

They were ( from oldest to youngest ) Nero Caesar, Drusus Caesar, the Emperor Caligula, the Empress Agrippina the Younger, Julia Drusilla and Julia Livilla.

Agrippina and Domitius were the parents of the Emperor Nero.

If so, they were probably formed in the same way as diminutives, for the feminine form Agrippina later appears as a cognomen, just as the masculine forms of these praenomina were gradually revived as cognomina.

Agrippina and Livilla were exiled, and returned from exile only when their paternal uncle Claudius came to power after Caligula's assassination in 41 AD.

Seneca and Burrus were on uneasy terms with Agrippina and were nervous about her political influence and methods, especially following the putative poisoning of her husband, the Emperor Claudius.

It is claimed by Tacitus that Agrippina exercised some erotic power over her son and that Acte advised Nero to resist this power, out of fear for her own safety and with Seneca's encouragement ; she warned Nero of the potential political repercussions with the military if incest with his mother were to become public.
