Vipsania Agrippina or most commonly known as Agrippina Major or Agrippina the Elder ( Major Latin for the elder, Classical Latin:, 14 BC – 17 October 33 ) was a distinguished and prominent Roman woman of the first century AD.

From Agrippa ’ s previous two marriages, Agrippina had two half-sisters: Vipsania Agrippina and Vipsania Marcella Agrippina.

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

Augustus had forced his first stepson Tiberius to end his happy first marriage to Vipsania Agrippina to marry Julia the Elder.

Agrippa died in 12 BC, and Tiberius was ordered by Augustus to divorce his wife Vipsania Agrippina and marry his stepsister, the twice-widowed Julia.

* Vipsania Agrippina, wife of Gaius Asinius Gallus and former wife of Tiberius ( b. 36 BC )

* Gaius Asinius Gallus, widower of Vipsania Agrippina and alleged lover of Agrippina the elder ( starvation )

* Vipsania Agrippina ( 36 BC – 20 ), daughter of Caecilia Attica and first wife of the Emperor Tiberius

* Vipsania Marcella Agrippina ( born 27 BC ), daughter of Claudia Marcella Major and first wife of general Publius Quinctilius Varus

* Julia the Younger or Vipsania Julia Agrippina ( 19 BC – 28 or early 29 ), daughter of Julia the Elder and wife of Lucius Aemilius Paullus

* Agrippina the Elder or Julia Vipsania Agrippina ( 14 BC – 33 ), daughter of Julia the Elder, wife of Germanicus and mother of Emperor Caligula

* Asinia Agrippina, a possible granddaughter of Vipsania Agrippina and possible second cousin to Agrippina the Younger

Vipsania Marcella was Agrippa ’ s second child from his second marriage to Augustus ’ first niece and the paternal cousin of Julia the Elder, Claudia Marcella Major.

Vipsania Marcella was the first wife of the general Publius Quinctilius Varus.

Due to his devotion to her, Messalina was able to manipulate Claudius into ordering the exile or execution of various people: the Roman philosopher Seneca the Younger ; Claudius ’ nieces Julia Livilla and Julia ; Marcus Vinicius ( husband of Julia Livilla ); consul Gaius Asinius Pollio II ( see Vipsania Agrippina ); the elder Poppaea Sabina ( mother of Empress Poppaea Sabina, second wife of Nero ); consul Decimus Valerius Asiaticus ; and Polybius.

It would be interesting to know her role in this, as well as in Tiberius ' divorce of Vipsania Agrippina in 12 BC at Augustus ' insistence: whether it was merely neutral or passive, or whether she actively colluded in Caesar's wishes.

Married to Quinctia, daughter of Lucius Quinctius, who was executed in 43 BC, Pollio is also notable as the father of Gaius Asinius Gallus Saloninus, the second husband of Vipsania Agrippina, daughter of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, Augustus's partner, second-in-command and second son-in-law.

The son Gallus and Vipsania had several sons together, of whom two were full consuls and a third was consul suffect.

Vipsania Marcella was a grandniece of Augustus.

Nero Claudius Drusus, later Drusus Julius Caesar ( adoptive name ; 13 BC – 14 September 23 AD ) was the only child of Roman Emperor Tiberius and his first wife, Vipsania Agrippina.

Through his great-grandmothers Vipsania Agrippina and Antonia Minor, he was also descended from Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and Mark Antony but not from Augustus.

Asinius Gallus never denied his paternity of the son of Tiberius and Vipsania, Julius Caesar Drusus, heir from 19 AD to 23 AD, which means that he might also have been the father of the child Vipsania was expecting on her divorce.

He was the widower of Vipsania Marcella, who was a daughter of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and by his second wife Claudia Marcella Major, niece of Augustus.

Vipsania Agrippina ( 36 BC-20 AD ) was the daughter of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa from his first wife Pomponia Caecilia Attica, granddaughter of Cicero's friend and knight Titus Pomponius Atticus.

Vipsania was at the time pregnant, and from the shock lost the baby.

Tacitus states that Vipsania was the only one of Agrippa's children to die without violence.

Vipsania Marcella Agrippina or Marcellina ( born 27 BC ) was the only daughter to Roman statesman Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa from his second wife Claudia Marcella Major.

He was replaced as heir by Julius Caesar Drusus, son of Tiberius and his first wife Vipsania Agrippina.

Caecilia Attica's and Agrippa's daughter Vipsania Agrippina was born in 36 BC.

Julia the Younger ( 19 BC-c. AD 29 ) ( Classical Latin: ) or Julilla ( little Julia ), Vipsania Julia Agrippina, Iulilla, Julia, Augustus ' granddaughter, or Julia Caesaris Minor, was a Roman noblewoman of the Julio-Claudian dynasty.

Julia the Younger was not a Julia Caesaris by birth: being the daughter of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa made her a Vipsania Agrippina by birth, although there are no contemporary sources that show that that name was ever used for her.

* Vipsania Agrippina, daughter of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and Pomponia Caecilia Attica ( d. AD 20 )

* Vipsania Julia Agrippina, daughter of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and Julia the Elder ( d. c. AD 28 )

About 14 BC he married Vipsania Marcella, the daughter of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and Claudia Marcella Major and became a personal friend of both Agrippa and Augustus.

* Marcus Asinius Agrippa, consul 25, died 26-see also Vipsania Agrippina

In 11 BC he married Vipsania Agrippina, daughter of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and his first wife Caecilia Attica, and the former wife of Tiberius.

A formal adoption " in the family of the Caesars " among the offspring of Agrippa and Julia the Elder is however only recorded regarding Vipsania Julia's brothers Gaius — hence Gaius Caesar — and Lucius — hence Lucius Caesar.

It is more probable that Ovid was somehow caught up in factional politics connected with the succession: Postumus Agrippa, Augustus ' adopted son, and Augustus ' granddaughter, Vipsania Julilla, were both relegated at around the same time.

Pomponia Caecilia Attica, usually called Caecilia Attica ( born 51 BC ), was the daughter of Titus Pomponius Atticus, the first wife of general Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, and mother of Vipsania Agrippina.

Agrippa and Julia's marriage resulted in five children: Gaius Caesar, Vipsania Julia ( also known as Julia the Younger ), Lucius Caesar, Vipsania Agrippina or Agrippina the Elder ( mother of Emperor Caligula ), and Agrippa Postumus ( a posthumous son ).

Tiberius married Julia ( 11 BC ), but to do so he had to divorce Vipsania Agrippina ( daughter of a previous marriage of Agrippa ), the woman he dearly loved.
