She returned with her children to Italy with Germanicus ’ ashes.

Her remaining children were raised between her, Livia Drusilla and Germanicus ’ mother Antonia Minor.

She was unwise in her complaints about Germanicus ’ death to Tiberius.

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.

Germanicus ’ death in the year 19 caused much public grief in Rome, and gave rise to rumors that he had been murdered by Gnaeus Calpurnius Piso and Munatia Plancina on the orders of Tiberius, as his widow Agrippina the Elder returned to Rome with his ashes.

Lucius ’ name was changed to Nero Claudius Caesar Drusus Germanicus and he became Claudius ’ s adopted son, heir and recognised successor.

Germanicus ’ death brought much public grief in Rome and throughout the Roman Empire.

On the day of Germanicus ’ death his sister Livilla gave birth to twins.

In 37, when Germanicus ’ only remaining son, Caligula, became emperor, he renamed September Germanicus in honor of his father.

He stayed true to Augustus ’ s plans for the succession and favored his adopted son Germanicus over his natural son, Drusus, as did the Roman populace.

Germanicus died at Syria in 19 AD and, on his deathbed, accused the governor of Syria, Gnaeus Calpurnius Piso, of murdering him at Tiberius ’ s orders.

Agrippina was a niece to Claudius, a daughter of Claudius ’ late brother Germanicus.

The historians Tacitus and Cassius Dio depict an overweening, even domineering dowager, ready to interfere in Tiberius ’ decisions, the most notable instances being the case of Urgulania ( grandmother of Claudius's first wife Plautia Urgulanilla ), a woman who correctly assumed that her friendship with the empress placed her above the law, and Munatia Plancina, suspected of murdering Germanicus and saved at Livia's entreaty.

The marriage appears to have been an unhappy one, and fell victim to the machinations of the notorious palace guardsman Sejanus, who exploited his intimacy with Livilla to scheme against Germanicus ’ family.

Upon his return to Rome in 21 AD, Silius was soon caught in the political machinations at court as part of Germanicus ’ s faction.

D. 12, referring to Tiberius ’ triumph over the Germans and the Pannonians, or later, it would be quite logical to assume that the young Germanicus, born in 13 B. C., was old enough to don his gear and prepare for war, years after his father ’ s death.

His mother ’ s maternal first cousin, the general Germanicus was in agreement with the local aristocracy, to crown Artaxias, as the new Armenian King.

Germanicus, Agrippina's father, was a very popular general and politician.

Agrippina's paternal uncle, Claudius, brother of her father Germanicus, became the new Roman Emperor.

He appointed Claudius his co-consul in 37 in order to emphasize the memory of Caligula's deceased father Germanicus.

Caligula's father Germanicus, the nephew and adopted son of Emperor Tiberius, was a very successful general and one of Rome's most beloved public figures.

As a boy of just two or three, Gaius accompanied his father, Germanicus, on campaigns in the north of Germania.

At the age of only seven, he drove his father Germanicus to despair and death by secretly terrorizing him.

For example, in AD 15 Germanicus was proclaimed Imperator during the reign of his adoptive father Tiberius.

He received the agnomen Germanicus in 9 BC, when it was posthumously awarded to his father in honour of his victories in Germania.

Germanicus was the grandson-in-law and great-nephew of the Emperor Augustus, nephew and adoptive son of the Emperor Tiberius, father of the Emperor Caligula, brother of the Emperor Claudius, and the maternal grandfather of the Emperor Nero.

His father, Germanicus, was a scion of both Julii and Claudii, descending from the respective bloodlines of Octavia Minor and Livia Drusilla.

Agrippina's father, Germanicus, was a grandson of Augustus's wife, Livia, on one side and to Mark Antony and Octavia on the other.

In 15 AD Germanicus was also imperator during the empire ( see below ) of his adoptive father Tiberius.

They sealed a victory for Germanicus, and earned him a triumph from his adopted father, Emperor Tiberius.

After the death of her father, Germanicus, she and her siblings were brought back to Rome by their mother, and raised with the help of their paternal grandmother, Antonia Minor.

* Germanicus, Roman general and son of Nero Claudius Drusus, father of Caligula

His father Germanicus was heir apparent to his own adoptive father Emperor Tiberius, but Germanicus predeceased the Emperor in 19.

He was the father of the Roman Emperor Tiberius and Nero Claudius Drusus, father-in-law to Antonia Minor, grandfather to the Emperor Claudius, Germanicus, and Livilla, great-grandfather to the Emperor Caligula and Empress Agrippina the Younger, and great-great-grandfather to the Emperor Nero.

Thusnelda was taken to Rome and, together with her brother Segimundus, displayed in Germanicus ' victory parade in 17 AD, with her father an honored spectator.

Germanicus was the first son born to Antonia Minor and Nero Claudius Drusus.

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.

With Germanicus dead, Tiberius began elevating his own son Drusus to replace him as the Imperial successor.

To aid Claudius politically, young Nero was adopted in 50 and took the name Nero Claudius Caesar Drusus Germanicus ( see adoption in Rome ).

* Legions on the Rhine revolt after the death of Augustus ; Germanicus and Drusus put down the revolt.

Nero Claudius Drusus Germanicus ( 14 January 38 BC – 14 September 9 BC ), born Decimus Claudius Drusus also called Drusus, Drusus I, Nero Drusus, or Drusus the Elder was a Roman politician and military commander.

Three Emperors were direct descendants of Drusus, Claudius ( his son ), Caligula ( Germanicus ' son, Drusus ' grandson ), and Nero ( Germanicus ' grandson, Drusus ' great-grandson ).

Even after the deaths of Gaius and Lucius, and the banishment of Postumus Agrippa, Augustus did not adopt Drusus ' sons, Germanicus and Claudius.
